[Boost-testing] date/time serialization testing

while perusing explicit failure markup I came upon:

        <test name="testgreg_serialize*">
            <mark-failure>
            <toolset name="borland*"/>
            <toolset name="msvc*"/>
            <toolset name="mingw*"/>
            <toolset name="gcc-2.*"/>
            <note author="B. Garst">The serialization library does not
support this compiler.
            </note>
            </mark-failure>
        </test>

        <test name="testtime_serialize*">
            <mark-failure>
            <toolset name="borland*"/>
            <toolset name="msvc*"/>
            <toolset name="mingw*"/>
            <toolset name="gcc-2.*"/>
            <note author="B. Garst">The serialization library does not
support this compiler.
            </note>
            </mark-failure>
        </test>

The serialization library supports the compilers mentioned (gcc-2* would
require stlport) .  Does mean that this particular type is not supported by
the serialization library for these compilers?  The comment is ambiguous.  I
understand that sometimes implementing serialization for an older compiler
can be a problem (although I don't see it in this case) so I'm complaining
about this. I'm just curious.

I also noticied that the text matrix doesn't contain an entry for these
tests. Why is that?
