The serialization library is set up as two libraries. Serialization.lib and wserialization.lib. If there isn't proper support for wide chars, the later fails to build and the tests that depend upon fail to pass. This is what happens when I test gcc on cygwin.
Aha, I see! I was confused by the fact that some files explicitly check and BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT() e.g. libs/serialization/src/xml_woarchive.cpp while others just fail to compile e.g. libs/serialization/src/basic_text_wiprimitive.cpp
So the fact that there is no wide char support on a particular platform should be no problem as far as the serialization library is concerned. Of course in such environments wide char use has to be avoided.
OK, I'll ignore any wchar-related failures in serialization. I didn't get any further testing on FreeBSD, will try to find time tonight.
