Hi Jürgen,
it's great that you're interested. The situation with building boost with
v2 is that:
1. It used to work.
2. Later on, we've changed handling of shared/static libraries, which
causes the error you see.
3. I was using V2 with boost, but only with Boost.Test, I did not notice
this problem.

The conclustion is that I'm about to fix the problem right now.
