If you look at the regression results, some serialization
tests also fail to link for me, too.  I don't want to check
in my patch yet, because it was only a quick hack.
The errors I got without it were unresolved symbols
for everything that linked to any boost library.  Is that
what you're getting?

"it" doesn't know anything about the backend.  You'll
have to use cflags=--vc6 e.g.
