Ok.

I guess I was thinking that what was happening is that when compiling
with Intel you were getting the MSVC defined and hence were taking the
non-generic code.  Perhaps not...

Have you tried to run the tests in libs/date_time/test with your 
Intel/STLPort configuration?  That might help diagnose the issue.
Also, it might be instructive to post your compile command.  Perhaps
someone with experience on Intel can figure out why your configuration
differs from the one that apparently passes the tests.

Might be a factor.  There have been some issues before with the library
configuration assuming MSVC limitations which don't apply with STLPort 
in the mix.

Agreed :-)
