[Boost-users] Portability of boost libs for "universal linux binary?"

Details:

I work on a project where one of the eventual goals is to have one 
binary for a given architecture that runs on multiple Linux 
distributions.  This goal is currently accomplished by both Sun's Java 
VM as well as the cmake project ( http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Index.html 
).  We are in the process of evaluating how this goal is impacted by 
third party dependencies. 

We currently use the following boost libs:  thread, program_options, 
regex, date_time, and filesystem.  I strongly suspect that the thread 
lib is going to be the biggest cause of grief towards accomplishing this 
goal (mostly due to the inability to static link it).  Are the other 
(non thread) boost libs statically linkable?

Thanks in advance.
