I think we need it to un-die. The two current issues are:

1. I've modified Boost.Python tests Jamfile.v2 to have <threading>multi. I 
think that fixes the errors, but is not a clean solution. I'd prefer direct 
linking to pthread.

2. I noticed that in V2 Boost.Python links to Python library. This sounds 
potentially problematic, I'm not sure if Python interpreter will completely 
hide all symbols from Python shared lib.
