Thanks for the analysis Doug. It looks like there is actually a mismatch 
between the declaration in boost/date_time/date_generators.hpp and the .cpp

    //date_generators.hpp
   //! Returns nth arg as string. 1 -> "first", 2 -> "second", max is 5.
   BOOST_DATE_TIME_DECL const char* nth_as_str(int n);

    //date_generators.cpp
   BOOST_DATE_TIME_DECL const char* nth_as_str(const int ele)

I'm surprised that's working on any compilers -- looks like the other 
compilers are being a bit lax on signature matching.  I'm fixing now.
