The error message say that the symbols from the boost.system library are not
found. Does anything in your linker line call for boost.system to be included?
Why are you including boost.filesystem twice in the linker command line? Try
using just -lboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36. Can you run 

        ldd ~/boost/lib/libboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36.so
