Apparently not - having <target-os>unix:<linkflags>-pthread gives the same 
'undefined reference' error, so I guess it is for the commercial Unix OS. But 
then using <target-os>bsd doesn't work either, so I wonder what <target-os>bsd 
is for. Is there still any original BSD OS out there in use? I'm cross-posting 
this to Boost.Build mailing list hoping some Boost.Build guru could clarify 
this...

Thanks,
