The error is in an undefined reference to a symbol in boost.system. Because of the way GCC links, the order matters as anything not referenced up to that point is removed.

Try changing this line:

LINKFLAGS := -L$(BOOST_LIB) -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem$(BOOST_VER)

To

LINKFLAGS := -L$(BOOST_LIB) -lboost_filesystem$(BOOST_VER) -lboost_system

IE: Switch the order of system and filesystem.

Hope this helps,
