[Boost-build] Boost 1.43.0 seems to produce broken libraries with MinGw version 4.5.0

  We have been trying to build Boost 1.43.0 using MinGW. (Actually we 
have been trying to build a package which relies on Boost.) We have 
encountered some weird problems with the ultimate package, which made us 
investigate the Boost libraries we were building. Minimally, we have used:

bjam --toolset=gcc install

although we have also explicitly specified link= static, and 
runtime-link=shared, etc.

Basically:

1) The build process with MinGW 4.5.0 appears to complete without error 
but any programs which use the resulting Boost libs crash immediately 
with what looks like an issue with loading a shared lib. We have tried 
running the Boost execution monitor test example but this fails.

2) Repeating the process with MinGW 4.4.0 produces working programs and 
the execution monitor example works fine.

Therefore, we conclude that the libraries built with MinGW 4.5.0 are 
broken. MinGW 4.4.0 seems to produce good libs.

Could someone advise if they have had success with building with gcc 
4.5.0 on, say, Linux. Or is this just a problem with MinGW 4.5.0?
