Comment (by boost@…):

 Hello!
 [[BR]]
 After all the years there is some progress here:
 [[BR]]
 using --buildid= on the b2 commandline it is now possible to generate
 libraries and dlls with different names.
 The only missing link is to support buildid in the autolink process.[[BR]]
 I therefor suppose to support a new (optional) variable BOOST_LIB_BUILDID
 and change the autolink coding in
 auto_link.hpp:


 {{{
 ...
 #elif defined(BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE)
 #  pragma comment(lib, BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) ".lib")
 #  ifdef BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC
 #     pragma message ("Linking to lib file: "
 BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) ".lib")
 #  endif
 >> Add this >>
 #elif defined(BOOST_LIB_BUILDID)
 #  pragma comment(lib, BOOST_LIB_PREFIX BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME)
 "-" BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET BOOST_LIB_THREAD_OPT BOOST_LIB_RT_OPT "-"
 BOOST_LIB_VERSION "-" BOOST_LIB_BUILDID ".lib")
 #  ifdef BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC
 #     pragma message ("Linking to lib file: " BOOST_LIB_PREFIX
 BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) "-" BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET BOOST_LIB_THREAD_OPT
 BOOST_LIB_RT_OPT "-" BOOST_LIB_VERSION "-" BOOST_LIB_BUILDID ".lib")
 #  endif
 << Add this <<
 #else
 #  pragma comment(lib, BOOST_LIB_PREFIX BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME)
 "-" BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET BOOST_LIB_THREAD_OPT BOOST_LIB_RT_OPT "-"
 BOOST_LIB_VERSION ".lib")
 #  ifdef BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC
 #     pragma message ("Linking to lib file: " BOOST_LIB_PREFIX
 BOOST_STRINGIZE(BOOST_LIB_NAME) "-" BOOST_LIB_TOOLSET BOOST_LIB_THREAD_OPT
 BOOST_LIB_RT_OPT "-" BOOST_LIB_VERSION ".lib")
 #  endif
 #endif
 ...
 }}}

 [[BR]]
 This is all optional and will not break any existing behavior.
 [[BR]]
 Best regards[[BR]]
