Sorry, I have been offline for a week.
Which file are we looing at here?  I find similar code in several
files, notably
  boost/iostream/detail/config/codecvt.h
 and 
  boost/detail/utf8_codecvt_facet.hpp

Is there another copy in the serialization library?

In all cases, my workaround in testing is the same:

//#elif defined(BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB)  // Fix for this line
#elif defined(BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB) && !defined( __BORLANDC__ )

There are a few more Borland fixes to apply for the new Dinkumware
library, but I am waiting for mainline to settle down again for BCB6
before putting those patches forwards.  This library change is also the
cause of most failures in datetime as well.
