or it might be that your Jamfile has a dependency on the target 
'boost_serialization' (which creates library-file called 
boost_serialization.lib) and that because of the auto_link your linker 
is looking for the library-file called: 
'boost_serialization-v71-mt-gd-1_32.lib'

Nevertheless I'm not really familiar with windows so I might be 
mistaking but I had a similar problem.
