I have made a simple test to show the problem (attached file). If you do not use Boost.Thread, the problem does not occur.
Adjust boost path (line 1) and call b2 -a, you'll see "recompile with -fPIC". Choose one of the commented choices
for target foo_static and you will see that there is no way to make it work, unless you call b2 -a cxxflags=-fPIC.
Is it a bug? Is there any workaround? Am I doing something wrong?
Environment where the error occurs:
