I just tried the following (with Linux, gcc 3.4.3) on the latest boost
development trunk, maybe this will help you:

1. Build all boost libraries as static library with multi-threading enabled:

> export BOOST_HOME=~/net/src/boost/devel/trunk
> cd $BOOST_HOME
> bjam debug link=static threading=multi stage

2. Compile and link asio tutorial example timer1:

> cd libs/asio/example/tutorial/timer1
> g++ -pthread -I $BOOST_HOME -o timer1 timer.cpp -L $BOOST_HOME/stage/lib
-lboost_system-gcc34-mt-d
> ./timer1
Hello, world!

IOW, you only need to link to the boost system library, no other boost libs
are needed.

HTH, Markus
