Ok, here is the macro, from boost/serialization/nvp.hpp:

#define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP(name)                              \
    boost::serialization::make_nvp(BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(name), name)

and here is the code from the same file for make_nvp:

template<class T>
inline
#ifndef BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING
const
#endif
nvp<T> make_nvp(const char * name, T & t){
    return nvp<T>(name, t);
}

So, I assume adding something of the sort:

#ifdef BOOST_PATHSCALE_EKO
...
#endif

to either make_nvp or BOOST_SERIALIZATION_NVP (and defining
BOOST_PATHSCALE_EKO appropriately, of course) is what you mean by a
"fancier" macro.  However, I'm not sure how to begin fixing this ---
do you have something in mind?

What I find baffling is that this works fine under gcc (4.1.2) and the
Intel compiler, though they both prevent you from compiling the test
case I sent.
