I am having problems too trying to build the threads lib, and it fails due
to an unrecognized -shared option passed to the linker and as far as i can
see, there is no a thread static library. Then I ran bjam "-sTools=darwin
cwpro8" in the boost root directory and i only got static library builds.
All the dynamic library builds failed due to this -shared option passed to
the linker. So what is the flag that the build system should use instead of
-shared ?
