[Boost-build] conditional link dependent on a define

How do I link a particular library dependent on a define:

>From the docs:
lib network : network.cpp
    : <link>shared:<define>NEWORK_LIB_SHARED
     <variant>release:<define>EXTRA_FAST
    ;

However what I want:  ( which fails with: error: properties found in
the 'sources' parameter)

lib pthread ;
exe network : network.cpp
    : <define>MULTI_THREADED:<link>:pthread
    ;

i.e if MULTI_THREADED is defined link with the pthread library.

is this possible in bjam ?

Ta, Avi
