a) I don't know which is the earliest version of gcc to support visibility.

b) Even if I did, I don't know what boost build syntax I would use to 
specify this. - I've only been using boost build for 13 years.

c) FWIW I've never supported gcc versions 3.XX.  There a number of 
issues such as support for wide characters.

d) If you want to suggest changes to jam files, I'll probably include 
them without testing them myself.  So before submitting them, I'd 
appreciate it if you could run the serialization library tests yourself 
first.
