There is none. Each library specifies individually whether it has
shared and/or static products.

There is no <link> feature in Boost.Build v1, and even if there were,
you'd need a slash.

Which library were you building? I'm guessing Boost.Threads because
it conspicuously doesn't have a static build on Windows (you can't do
TLS without a DLL).

Yes, you want to put <runtime-build>release in your BUILD properties:

-sBUILD=debug/<runtime-build>release/<instruction-set>pentiumpro
