Thank you!  I was just contemplating this problem today.
I have not tried your method, but I'm sure it will come in handy.
My sort-term solution to eliminating DSO's was to run

$ find ${myboostprefix}/lib --name '*.so' --exec rm {} \;

But that of course didn't help with the long boost build time.

Now if I could just figure out how to use GNU autotools/libtool to link
specifically against the boost static libraries instead of the dynamic
ones...
