 I am cross-compiling boost 1.47
 using

 $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ --version

 x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ (GCC) 4.5.4 20110822 (prerelease)

 On Linux box with the following command:

 ./b2 -a toolset=gcc target-os=windows threading=multi threadapi=pthread
 runtime-link=static --layout=versioned --build-type=complete install

 user-config.jam contains the following:

 using gcc : mingw  : x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ ;

 After that a linkage failed when building my project. I reproduced it with
 simple test program:

 #include <boost/thread.hpp>
 #include <iostream>

 using namespace std;

 struct test
 {
     void operator()() { cout << "Called" << endl; }
 };

 int main()
 {
     test test_obj;
     boost::thread thr(test_obj);
     thr.join();
 }

 The output looks like

 $ x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ -Wall  test_boost.cpp -I
 ./3rdparty/boost/include/boost-1_47 -L ./3rdparty/boost/lib
 -lboost_thread-mgw-mt-s-1_47 -o test_boost.exe

 The same scenario works fine when linking with dynamic libboost_thread.
 Both
 static and dynamic builds work fine for Linux.


 When I add define

 -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB=1

 it results in following:

 ./3rdparty/boost/include/boost-1_47
 ./3rdparty/boost/lib/libboost_thread-mgw-mt-1_47.a

 I have reproduced it with boost 1.43, 1.46.1, 1.47 and latest (74606)
 revision from svn. Tried two differen mingw-w64 gcc versions: 4.5.4 and
 4.7.0.
