Take a look at bosot/date_time/compiler_config.hpp which does something similar. All we need to do to fix these regressions is add the compiler to the list of those that don't have std::abs
at line 34. Turns out that some compilers that support long long do define a version of abs for long long. (I'm sure you also
know that some compilers don't call it the type long long either which is why we have boost::int64_t).

The problem is, VA _has_ std::abs. You just need a specialization for long long then.

namespace std {
template<> long long abs(long long n) { return llabs(n); }
}

Don't know if this is legal, though.
