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

I've seen static libs generated for boost-thread, but I've had bad luck 
trying to get a statically linked thread lib to work (though my issues 
may be caused by something that is not boost::thread related) . I'll 
give it another go and see what we can come up with.
