That's because the function defintions in date_time/gregorian_calendar.ipp 
are not be included when this flag is not defined and they are apparently 
the source of the warnings.  Borland has been complaining similarly 
about this...

Yes, somewhere along the line in restructuring it looks
like I broke the intent of this compile flag.  If it was working
correctly a number of functions would wind up in the library
instead of inline.  Unfortunately if you don't turn it on the
symbols don't get into the library and your link will fail.  So
until I fix it DATE_TIME_INLINE will need to be defined.

If you post the error/problem I'm sure someone would be willing to help
you with it.  I know several folks that use bjam with VC7.
