This error is expected when using the 'tagged' layout. autolink requires
that you build Boost using 'versioned' layout. The fact that 'system' works
is probably due to the fact that you have already build with 'versioned'
layout, so have the libraries already.

You can disabled autolinking using BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB macro set to 1.

Does this answer your question?
