If you look at the build logs...

        http://www.boost.org/build-logs

You'll see my errors.

An example:

gcc-Link-action 
bin\boost\libs\python\build\boost_python.dll\mingw\debug\boost_python-mgw-d-1_31.dll 
bin\boost\libs\python\build\boost_python.dll\mingw\debug\boost_python-mgw-d-1_31.lib
Cannot export .idata$4: symbol not found
Cannot export .idata$5: symbol not found

And so on for all references to Python exported globals.

Which version of MinGW are you using? And how are you building?

I'm at MinGW 3.1.0-1, which is GCC 3.2.3.
