Re: [boost] [threads] Problem static linking with boost.thread during cross-compilation

I have reproduced the situation with various versions of boost (1.43.0,
1.46.1 and latest svn version - rev74606). I also tried newer
cross-compiler: 4.7.0 (previous was 4.5.4).

I think this can be posted to bug-tracker, do you agree?

Thanks.
