My guess is there's an integration issue, are you testing against 
"everything else develop"?

That's an error in the header - the constructor is declared imported but 
has an inline function body:

     BOOST_UTF8_DECL explicit utf8_codecvt_facet(std::size_t 
no_locale_manage=0)
         : std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>(no_locale_manage)
     {}   // <---- error here, can't import a definition!

I also see a whole load of linker errors which I don't understand at 
present:
