Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  Building Boost
  Version:  Boost 1.46.0      |    Severity:  Problem

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Boost builds shared libraries with embedded -rpath, which causes a problem
 for vendors like Debian; c.f. http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue.  For this
 reason, I use the enclosed patch when building Boost libraries for Debian.
 Please consider turning this into a Boost.Build option.

 See also the [http://lists.boost.org/boost-build/2010/09/24089.php mailing
 list discussion] where I first raised this.
