[boost] Problem with Serialization and Building with Managed Extensions

I am trying to use boost::serialization in a managed code (CLR) project in Visual Studio. The area that serialization 
is being used, and all the objects that are being serialized, and standard C++. There are no managed objects related 
to the serialization process.  In fact, I have a test app that reproduces the problem that can be built and run 
without managed extensions on. But, if I turn building with managed extensions on, several parts of the of the 
serialization templates turn up missing at link time. I get several errors like the following:

LINK : error LNK2020: unresolved token (0A00013F) std._Uninitialized_fill_n<class boost::variant<class 
TestClass,int,float,double,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> 
>,struct boost::detail::variant::void_,struct boost::detail::variant::void_,struct

boost::detail::variant::void_,struct boos

boost::detail::variant::void_,struct boost::detail::variant::void_,struct boost::detail::variant::void_,struct 
boost::detail::variant::void_,struct boost::deta

Also, during build, the compiler doesn't like the use of __fastcall in several areas of the code.  For example:

..\..\..\..\boost\boost_1_33_0\boost\type_traits\detail\is_mem_fun_pointer_tester.hpp(2443) : warning C4561: 
'__fastcall' incompatible with the '/clr' option: converting to '__stdcall'

I don't know if these are related.

I'm using VS 7.1.  Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should look at from here?

Thanks,
