[boost] Build errors with msvc/release/pdb

Subject: [boost] Build errors with msvc/release/pdb
From: Christoph Macheiner (christoph.macheiner_at_[hidden])
Date: 2012-11-15 10:50:42

The following libraries generate errors when using msvc, building for 
release and generating the program debug database: date_time, locale, math 
(all), thread, wave. Except for math, this seems to be caused by having at 
least one directory specified in the /Fd option.
Also, there are 251 .pdb files in the boost root directory instead of their 
respective output directory (presumably from serialization, unit_test, math, 
and most probably others).

The command-line is:
bjam link=shared runtime-link=shared 
variant=release --layout=system --stagedir=.\stage stage debug-symbols=on 
debug-store=database

I am at a loss on how to fix this. Can someone help?

On a related note, the .pdb files are automatically generated when building 
for debug. Is there an easy switch somewhere in the sources, so that I can 
turn this on globally also for release as a work-around?

For reference, below is the output for the first file for each library, plus 
contents of the corresponding .rsp file

Thanks, Christoph.
