[Boost-users] bjam w/ minggc g++-3.4.5-20060117: undefined reference

Hi,

I'm building boost_1_33_1 on mingw win32 environment via:

boost-jam-3.1.3-1-ntx86/bjam.exe -sTOOLS=mingw stage

Everything goes fine and most libraries are built and run without 
problems, except for link-time errors of "undefined references" for the 
following functions:

"boost::filesystem::detail::system_error_code()"
"boost::filesystem::filesystem_error::~filesystem_error()"
"boost::filesystem::filesystem_error::filesystem_error(...)"
"vtable for boost::filesystem::filesystem_error"
"boost::archive::ARCHIVE_VERSION()"
"boost::archive::ARCHIVE_SIGNATURE()"
"boost::signals::trackable::signal_connected(...)"

It seems some of the object files doesn't get picked up while building 
their corresponding libraries; for example, ARCHIVE_VERSION() and 
ARCHIVE_SIGNATURE() are defined in 
libs/serialization/src/basic_archive.cpp file, which are compiled 
correctly into basic_archive.obj, yet somehow the bjam link process 
cannot find it while building the Serialization library.  If I inline 
the definition of ARCHIVE_VERSION() and ARCHIVE_SIGNATURE() into its 
declaration header file of boost/archive/basic_archive.hpp, the the 
Serialization library is built without problem.  This shows that I'm 
probably missing something for the above build command.

Also, in my mingw win32 build output of stage/lib directory, the 
corresponding libraries with the above "undefined references" 
(libboost_filesystem-mgw-*, libboost_serialization-mgt-*, and 
libboost_signals-mgw-*) are generated as a result of the above bjam 
build command, even though mingw's ld.exe doesn't recognize these lib 
files.  Is this a bug in bjam logic?

Here's my mingw win32 environment:
* MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1
* msysDTK-1.0.1
* binutils-2.16.91-20060119-1
* gcc-core-3.4.5-20060117-1
* gcc-g++-3.4.5-20060117-1
* w32api-3.7
* mingw-runtime-3.10
* mingw-utils-0.3

Attached is the excerpt of above undefined reference errors.  I'm not 
familiar with bjam; it'd be great if someone can shed lights on what's 
wrong.  (please cc me as I'm not subscribed to the list)
