The extern "C" bug is fixed in CVS.  You might want to make sure the 
gcc-tools.jam problem is a known issue as well.

I don't have any way to compile/test on this platform so all I can 
offer is general advise.

Since Jam works to build the library, does it work to run the test?  
(Execute Jam in the BOOST_ROOT/libs/thread/test directory.)  If this 
works (hopefully it will) you can use Jam to figure out what command 
line options are required to link on your platform (execute with the -
d+2 switch).

Hopefully others will have more information for you.
