    Yes. Done. Here is relevent bit of the Jamfile.

lib boost_serialization
    : ## sources ##
        ../src/$(WSOURCES).cpp
    : ## requirements ##
        std::locale-support
        <msvc><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <msvc-stlport><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <vc7><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <borland><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <borland-5_5_1><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <borland-5_6_4><*><include>$(SPIRIT_ROOT)
        <sysinclude>$(BOOST_ROOT)
        <borland><*><cxxflags>"-w-8080 -w-8071 -w-8057"
        <msvc><*><cxxflags>-Gy
        <vc7><*><cxxflags>-Gy
        <vc7_1><*><cxxflags>-Gy

        ## Darwin doesn't like optimization...
        <darwin><*><optimization>off
        <darwin><*><inlining>off

        <define>BOOST_TEST_NO_AUTO_LINK=1
        <vacpp><*><define>BOOST_MPL_USE_APPLY_INTERNALLY
    : ## default-build
       <runtime-link>static/dynamic <threading>single/multi

    (The Jamfile syntax means nothing to me.
        I put an echo line above what I determined to be the cc
        command and tried different things until I saw -O0 and
        -fno-inline.)

    Now it compiles. As to the specific opimization to turn off,
    well, I'll have to learn more about Boost.Build.
