It might be a config issue if there's no std::wstring support in gcc 3.3.1
on AIX, however I would have expected compile time rather than link time
errors in that case.  In any case if you're not interested in wchar_t
support in Boost code then you could try defining BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING and
see if that helps.  Otherwise upgrading your gcc version might help as well.
