[boost] [program_options] undefined references

We are using Boost 1.33.0 with g++ 3.4.4 on an Opteron machine.  I 
compiled .a archive libraries for our users to link to.  The compile 
options we normally build our software with are '-march=opteron -m64 
-ansi -mieee-fp -fPIC' along with '-O2' or '-g'.

One of our users ran into this problem trying to link his program (I 
shortened some of our names):

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Does anyone recognize these symptoms?
