gcc 3.4.1 fixed several bugs that broke the serialization library.

It's easy to work around this particular problem in a way that should
not hurt on other platforms: make the temporary explicit (i.e.,
construct a local variable and then pass this variable).

I don't see a just as easy workaround for gcc 3.4.0 PR #16154 (broken
input iterator concept check), though, unless you accept to write your
own version of std::copy. After hacking around this issue I got many
discouraging compiler failures in the cwchar header...

But by then gcc 3.4.1 was released, Robert put serialization#20 on
his website, and this combination passed the serialization tests on my
machine. Thus I didn't pursue the problems with gcc 3.4.0 any
further.
