Jim,

Thanks for the hint. chatr was a lifesaver!

In fact the problem was, as you sugested, connected to the fact that a
3rd party lib had a broken build configuration, that accepted to
override -AA, but forced the linkage on libstd. A tweak on the build
system files removed the dependency on libstd, and therefore the
warning on the linkage of my components.

As for the second problem, I also managed to solve it: several libs
being built in the project were being declared as sources for the
component, due to a leftover set of changes in the jam file of the lib
when it was ported to win32. That's OK with win32-msvc and linux-gcc,
but the hupx aCC compiler integrates dependency information in the
linkage of libraries if they are compiled this way. So, the linker
(for the component) was essencialy complaining that it couldn'f find
the dependencies in the search dirs, even though the libs were
explicitely passed.

After adding a condicional for win32 shared (since the compilation of
DLL requires it), all is working fine.

Thanks for the help.

João
