Well, since nobody can help we'll have to figure it out for ourselves. 
For starters we disabled the

#if defined(BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC) && !defined(__COMO__)
#   if defined(__BORLANDC__)
#       define BOOST_DLLEXPORT __export
#   else
#       define BOOST_DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#   endif
#elif ! defined(_WIN32) && ! defined(_WIN64)
#   if defined(__MWERKS__)
#       define BOOST_DLLEXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#   elif defined(__GNUC__) && (__GNUC__ >= 3)
#       define BOOST_USED __attribute__ ((used))
#   elif defined(__INTEL_COMPILER) && (BOOST_INTEL_CXX_VERSION >= 800)
#       define BOOST_USED __attribute__ ((used))
#   endif
#endif

block in serialization/force_include.hpp, which fixes our problem. The 
first few lines seem to be wrong, a __declspec(dllexport) should never 
be visible unless a DLL is generated.
