This is missing symbols from Boost.Thread, your Jamfile should be modified to 
read:

------- libs/log/src/Jamfile.v2 --------
project log

: requirements

<include>../../..
<include>../../../../boost
;

lib log : functions.cpp log.cpp log_manager.cpp /boost/thread//boost_thread ;

Could it be that the log libraries does not respect the above defines and 
attempts to autolink in any case? You can take a look at the source to 
determine if it's the case, or plain comment out any autolink code.
