Thanks Lars !

Actually, problem was in header file 
boost/date_time/time_resolution_traits.hpp which contained in some 
function a template parameter
with name "v_type". During pre-processing phase, this v_type gets 
replaced by "v_gnode->name" because one of system header files on IBM AIX
have a macro defined with same name i.e. v_type.

I just changes this name "v_type" to some other name say "var_type" and 
compilation was successful.
The same problem was also described in link,
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?status=!closed&page=5&desc=1&order=status&row=description

Thanks and Best Regards,
Pravar
