The code I can see contains

#ifdef BOOST_SYSTEM_INLINED
#define BOOST_SYSTEM_INLINE inline
#define BOOST_SYSTEM_DECL

#else
#define BOOST_SYSTEM_INLINE
...
//
// And include the header that does the work:
//
#include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp>
#endif  // auto-linking disabled

#endif // BOOST_SYSTEM_INLINED

The inclusion of boost/config/auto_link.hpp is on the else part, so 
included only when Boost.System will not be inlined.
