Those two libs should be the same thing, in fact I think one should be a

No, they are not.  Although that is what I would have expected...
-rwxr-xr-x    1 eoapi    clients   4976367 Apr 22  2004
libboost_regex-gcc-mt-d-1_31.so.1.31.0
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       629005 Jun 29 06:16
libboost_regex-gcc.so

I shall clean it up and try rebuilding
