I tried to look into this issue:

AFAICT date_time is not the only lib that is affected. It seems the 
issue is triggered by codecvt_null.cpp.
When the linker tries to build the serialization lib it finds
symbols such as

std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, int>::do_unshift(...

which it is not able to resolve.

I have no idea why this problem popped up. The only change that has been
done in the time frame where the problem appeared was in
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/41077

But honestly, I have no idea whether this is a usable hint.
