serialization keeps using wchar_t if BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING is set

[boostbugs-@…]

I was for some reason compiling boost with an individual user.hpp that defines
#define BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING
#define BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LOCALE

My config is Sparc Solaris target 32bit Gcc 3.3.2 gcc-Stl --without-icu
# Compiler configuration
using gcc : : : <cflags>"-mcpu=v9"

<cxxflags>"-mcpu=v9 -DBOOST_USER_CONFIG=
\"boost/config/user_ohne_wchar_t.hpp
\""

<linkflags>"-mcpu=v9" <linker-type>sun ;

However it seems that serialization does not honour this. I implied because compiling of boost yields that error (Sorry a bit long). This is no big deal as long as one does not need it. Other components keep working

I don't see a problem here.

As I understand it, BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING means therer is no wstring. But there is no reason that there can't be a wchar_t.
