I have the same problem with 1.30 and mingw/msys. After 
configure, I started make (I had to manually add some include 
directories) and got the following:

It is clear from your posting that configure did not work 
correctly for you - it seems to have wrongly set every macro 
going based upon your error messages - my guess is that you 
did not set up your compilers command line options correctly 
so that every test then failed, but without seeing your 
config.log output I can't tell.  

BTW there is no need to run configure for this compiler-
platform combination, it should have worked just fine staight 
out of the box.

If you want futher help with this, then please email me 
directly at boost.regex@virgin.net

John.
