do you need wchar support? are the following macros defined on your 
platform?

BOOST_NO_CWCHAR
BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING

Serialization supports platforms without wchar support. Android seems to 
have no support for wchar in some versions and partial support in 
others. That you are using a version with partial support could be the 
reason the macros above aren't defined for you.
Disabling wchar support by defining the macros above yourself might 
solve your problem.
