Well, whereas my above statement is as correct as it could be, it's also
totally useless as far as original problem is concerned, here and now.

Armin, go to libs/serialization/build/Jamfile.v2 and find this line:

    : requirements <dependency>../../config/test//BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE

and remove the 

        <dependency>../../config/test//BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE

part of it. Then it should work.
