this symbols appears to be used when code is built with thumb1 mode with
space optimization. It should be provided by GCC runtime library.
Therefore, I have two guesses:

- Your application is not using thumb mode, but your build of Boost is
- There is mismatch between NDK used to build boost and your app.

Could you look into these options?
