When linking with gcc the order in which the libraries and object files 
appear is *very* important, in particular any libraries you plan to link 
against must appear *after* the object files that require them, so I'm 
guessing you need:

     ${CXX} -o test ${testobjs} ${boosttestlibs} ${boostlibs}

HTH, John.
