FWIW, in our installation of 1.32, we deleted boost\spirit.hpp from 
boost and also boost\spirit directory and then replaced them with 
spirit-1.6x so that we can still do:

#include <boost/spirit.hpp>

To use spirit, and it also enables the serialization library to build 
(which we use heavily too).

Obviously this limits you to using the older version of spirit but we 
currently only work with C++Builder 6 so that isn't an issue for us, it 
maybe for you.
