I've just built Boost 1.33.1 for VC8 (I needed to anyway - new XP
install...). I used this bjam command line (obviously the python and
prefix options are specific to my PC)

   bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-8_0" --prefix=c:\lib\boost
--with-python-root=c:\python\python24 install

and ended up with these serialization sgd libraries:

   libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-sgd-1_33_1.lib
   libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-sgd.lib

So....it seems to me that a command line like the one I used should
get you the library you need?
