Do you have other versions of the library in stage/lib?

This is the debug library, it looks like you only built release.
Try either bjam --with-log debug link=static threading=multi 
runtime-link=shared /your defines/
to build exactly the library you want, or bjam --with-log 
--build-type=complete /your defines/
to build all variants.
