[Boost-users] filesystem/signals/serialization dlls not linking

When I try to build boost 1_33_1 with mingw ( gcc 3.4.2 ) some libraries 
don't link properly.  At the end of the build process, the following 
files are missing :

boost_filesystem-mgw-1_33_1.dll
boost_filesystem-mgw-1_33_1.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_filesystem-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-d.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt-1_33_1.dll
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt-1_33_1.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt-d.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw-mt.lib
boost_filesystem-mgw.lib

boost_serialization-mgw-1_33_1.dll
boost_serialization-mgw-1_33_1.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_serialization-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-d.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-mt-1_33_1.dll
boost_serialization-mgw-mt-1_33_1.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_serialization-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-mt-d.lib
boost_serialization-mgw-mt.lib
boost_serialization-mgw.lib

boost_signals-mgw-1_33_1.dll
boost_signals-mgw-1_33_1.lib
boost_signals-mgw-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_signals-mgw-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_signals-mgw-d.lib
boost_signals-mgw-mt-1_33_1.dll
boost_signals-mgw-mt-1_33_1.lib
boost_signals-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.dll
boost_signals-mgw-mt-d-1_33_1.lib
boost_signals-mgw-mt-d.lib
boost_signals-mgw-mt.lib
boost_signals-mgw.lib

I believe that all the other libraries are building successfully.

Here are the first few errors that appear in my build log:

So far my work around has been to use 1_33_0 which builds 100% cleanly.

Does anyone have any idea either what I might be doing wrong or what is 
going wrong otherwise.

Thanks.
