When comparing with vxWorks 6.6 and 6.7, I see the following includes:
/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.1/include/os/vxWorks/boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock_pool.hpp \
/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.1/include/os/vxWorks/boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock.hpp \
/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.1/include/os/vxWorks/boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock_sync.hpp \ 


That means in spinlock.hpp vxWorks 6.6 and 6.7 take the branch
#elif defined( BOOST_SP_HAS_SYNC )
#  include <boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock_sync.hpp>

But vxWorks 6.2 and 6.3 want to take the branch
#elif defined(BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS)
#  include <boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock_pt.hpp>
I checked that vxWorks 6 indeed defines _POSIX_THREADS as checked in posix_features.hpp: 
      // POSIX defines _POSIX_THREADS > 0 for pthread support,
      // however some platforms define _POSIX_THREADS without
      // a value, hence the (_POSIX_THREADS+0 >= 0) check.
      // Strictly speaking this may catch platforms with a
      // non-functioning stub <pthreads.h>, but such occurrences should
      // occur very rarely if at all.
# if defined(_POSIX_THREADS) && (_POSIX_THREADS+0 >= 0) && !defined(BOOST_HAS_WINTHREADS) && !defined(BOOST_HAS_MPTASKS) 
#        define BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS
#     endif
But the file boost/smart_ptr/detail/spinlock_pt.hpp is missing. I copied it from another boost installation to see what happens. VxWorks 6.2 has pthread_mutex_lock(). It implements it with semTake() but does some magic before to follow posix rules. Maybe it is better to use semTake directly in a vxWorks specific implementation? Also I don't think that vxWorks 6.2 supports multi-core processors. Thus intLock() may be faster and still safe? 


Now I get another error with vxWorks 6.2:

And with vxWorks 6.3:
