[boost] [test] linking problems with boost-1.32.0-5.fc3.i386.rpm

Hi,

I upgraded today to boost-1.32.0-5.fc3.i386.rpm and my projects stoped  
linking complaining about libboost_unit_test_framework.so: undefined  
reference to `init_unit_test_suite(int, char**)'. I'm not a linker expert  
but it seems like libboost_unit_test_framework library does not have a  
weak symbol init_unit_test_suite anymore. I had to rollback to  
boost-1.32.0-3.i386.rpm.

I'd like to know is that my problem or ...?

Here are the details:
