It appears that in fact, the code unconditionally relinks on Unix.
Sorry for confusing matters -- I was sure the code only relinks as
necessary. Anyway, it is true in SVN trunk, as of revision 58775.
See:

        https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/58775

Also, please specify hardcode-dll-paths using project requirements:

        project : requirements <hardcode-dll-paths>false ;

this will make sure it will apply to every target in your project.

Let me know if this stops relinking for you -- it stops for me.
