I don't know anything about QNX. But this really shouldn't happen ---  
there should be no need to explicitly add the boost.thread source  
files to your project, that's the whole point of building them as a  
library! It makes me think that the library/application build settings  
are incompatible some how.

Have you tried using bjam to build your app, thus ensuring the same  
build settings?
