Comment (by koradlow@…):

 I recompiled the lib with the proposed changes to config.hpp:40

 {{{
 if defined(BOOST_MSVC) || defined(BOOST_INTEL_WIN) || defined(MINGW32) ||
 defined(BOOST_MINGW32)
 }}}
 But I still get the same linker error as mentioned above trying to link
 statically.
 Using boost 1.44, mingw 3.15 and gcc 4.4.0, dynamically linking works fine
 though

 This is my link command which causes the errors
 {{{
 g++.exe  -static -o .../main.o -L/D/boost_1_44_0/stage/lib
 /D/boost_1_44_0/stage/lib/libboost_thread-mgw44-mt-sd-1_44.a
 }}}


 btw: I also had to apply this patch
