   Status:  new                    |   Milestone:  To Be Determined       
Component:  Building Boost         |     Version:  Boost Development Trunk
 Severity:  Regression             |    Keywords:  pdb                    
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 Attempting to build boost with ''debug-store=database'' (which is
 necessary to get PDBs for static libraries and not just DLLs) causes all
 the PDB files to be created flatly in the Boost root directory instead of
 in the appropriate folders. The problem started with Boost 1.50 and it is
 still broken on trunk.

 Reproduction steps:
 1. In a clean Boost directory, run
 {{{
 bootstrap
 b2 debug-symbols=on debug-store=database
 }}}
 2. Watch as the directory fills up with PDBs.
