[Boost-build] Problem with -fPIC and boost::detail::sp_counted_base

I am building static library on 64 bit linux, but get this error :

gcc.link.dll bin/gcc-4.6.1/release/address-model-64/threading-multi/libcapi-sulum.so
/usr/bin/ld: bin/intel-linux/release/address-model-64/link-static/threading-multi/libsulum-lib.a(model.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `vtable for
boost::detail::sp_counted_base' can not be used when making a shared
object; recompile with -fPIC
bin/intel-linux/release/address-model-64/link-static/threading-multi/libsulum-lib.a:
could not read symbols: Bad value

Everything is compiled with -fPIC, so I am a bit confused with this
link error. Further more there are so many hits in the code base on
this function, so I can not really figure out where the problem is and
how to fix it.

I am using lintel to compile and gcc for linking, but the same error
happens with gcc for both compile and link.

Any thoughts ?
