 Hi,

 I recently updated to boost 1.61 with self-compiled libraries using
 MSVC2015 with the following build settings
 {{{
 .\bootstrap
 .\b2 architecture=x86 toolset=msvc -j 12 --layout=tagged
 }}}
 The libraries are properly compiled but when I link with my application I
 get the following errors:

 (BOOST_AUTO_LINK_TAGGED is defined globally)

 {{{

 }}}

 I got a minimal working example

 {{{
 #include <boost/locale.hpp>

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {
   (boost::locale::format(boost::locale::translate("Hello, {1}")) %
 "World").str();
   return 0;
 }
 }}}

 The linker error occurs only if the operator% is used, format and
 translate alone compile and link fine.
 The linker error disappear as soon as I add {{{#include
 <boost/system/error_code.hpp>}}}
