I believe this can work.  BUT you have to rebuild the library with the same
setting.  That is.  if you want to build your application with usage
of wchar_t set to NO, you have to link with a library which
is built with the same setting.

The reason that I believe that this can work is that library
used to be built this way before microsoft had the
wchar_t type implemented.  Note that there is also a
setting in boot config.h which is related to this. If you
build with NO wchar_t, you should check that boost/config
detects this properly.
