It depends on how you have built BOOST. If you build using "bjam
--layout=system", the libs with *no* version (and compiler) name is
used by auto_link. On BOOST 1.34, I think it is a bit broken as the
auto_link tries to include some libs which have "-mt" in the lib names
(multi-threaded libraries). The auto_link might need some fix to
decide which one to pick. I have not explore deep enough yet.
