Hi Sören -

This problem is due to STLPort wchar_t support (this is a STLPort default
iostreams build). There are 2 ways to deal with this.

No wide string/stream/etc

Build date_time from boost_root with:

 bjam -a "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..." 
      "-sBUILD=<define>BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING" 
      --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage

With wide string/stream/etc

Rebuild STLPort to use wchar_t by adding /Zc:wchar_t to the STLPort makefile.
Build date_time from boost_root with:

 bjam -a "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport" "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..." 
      "-sBUILD=<native-wchar_t>on" 
      --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage

NOTE: Replace the elipses with the proper paths for your system. 

HTH,

Jeff
