Comment:

 1) It looks like your creating a DLL boost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-
 1_45.dll
 with import library boost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-1_45.lib but trying to
 link statically with it libboost_serialization-vc90-mt-gd-1_45.lib.  This
 can never work and that's why the names are different - just to prevent
 this from being possible.

 2) This is better, you're creating a static library
 libboost_serialization-vc90-sgd-1_45.lib as a single threaded library, but
 linking a main program compiled with multi-threaded code. That's why it's
 looking for with a libboost_serialization-vc90-mt-sgd-1_45.lib) This can
 work, but it also crash for no apparent reason.  The auto link in
 preventing your from creating this type of problem.

 3) This overrides all the checking above so your application might SEEM to
 work but can fail in a catestrophic and unpredictable way.

 Suggestion. Make sure your main program and the libraries are built with
 the same settings.

 I don't know why the other libraries worked - maybe the main program had
 different settings or maybe the library was built with different settings.
 I can't speak to that.
