So, like this (?):

% ls -l build/lib
total 1352
  libboost_iostreams-mt-d.a
  libboost_iostreams-mt-d.so -> libboost_iostreams-mt-d.so.1.41*
  libboost_iostreams-mt-d.so.1.41 -> libboost_iostreams-mt-d.so.1.41.0*
  libboost_iostreams-mt-d.so.1.41.0*
  libboost_iostreams-mt.a
  libboost_iostreams-mt.so -> libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.41*
  libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.41 -> libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.41.0*
  libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.41.0*
