Re: [Boost-build] set link flag for individual library

Hi,
In my library, I have a bunch of functions that get registered in a
factory.  They use a string to look them up.
What I think happens is that since the linker doesn't know these are
needed the symbols aren't extracted. Using a different build system I
could just tell it to extract all the symbols for the library.

I am guessing my next best option is to separate the files with
registrations into a separate library and link the object files. Could
I make whatever lib/exe that depends on this library link all of the
object files directly?
