Thanks Volodya, that put me on the right track, I used BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK instead of BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB.

import boost ;

boost.use-project 1.35 ;

obj app.obj : app.cpp /boost /tools/crypto//md5 : <define>BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK  ;

exe app : app.obj : <library>/boost//filesystem <library>/boost//system <library>/tools/crypto//md5 ;

Apparently, autolink is kicking in -- and by default it assumes static linking, whilst Boost.Build does shared linking by default. I'd recommend:

        <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB

in requirement to disable autolink completely.
