I couldn't get BOOST_STATIC_WARNING to work for intel compilers. In later boost version it evaluates to nothing for this compiler. If you update to 1.37 or modify your own version of the library accordingly ths will fix the problem. If you can make BOOST_STATIC_WARNING work for this compiler so much the better.
