Stlport was not built with wchar_t support (this is the
default).

You have two choices to work around this issue.

You can rebuild stlport with wchar_t support by adding
/Zc:wchar_t to the makefile and then build date_time with:
(from $boost_root)
bjam -a  "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport"  "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..."
     "-sBUILD=<native-wchar_t>on"
     --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage 

Or, you can build date_time w/o wstrings:

bjam -a  "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1-stlport"  "-sSTLPORT_PATH=..."
     "-sBUILD=<define>BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING"
     --stagedir=... --with-date_time stage(adjust the elipses
accordingly)

--as posted on list by Bart on the dev list
