[Boost-users] troubles linking with boost_regex

I am using boost 1.34.0
I have built the boost libraries from cygwin but for no-cygwin environment (pure win32, independant from cygwin):
- I have built bjam with: ./build.bat gcc-nocygwin
- I have used bjam like this: path/to/bjam link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared --toolset=gcc-nocygwin --prefix="D:\Softs\boost_msw" --layout=system release install
- I then use g++ with -mno-cygwin flag to compile and link

Here is the trouble I get when I link a program that uses regex with the regex library:
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x1a): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_lock >>
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x54): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_lock >>
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x84): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_lock >>
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0xaa): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_unlock >>
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0xda): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_unlock >>
/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw/lib/libboost_regex.a(static_mutex.o):static_mutex.cpp:(.text+0x10a): r'ef'erence ind'efinie vers << _pthread_mutex_unlock >>

This does not happen when I link a program that uses only filesystem with the filesystem library.
Also when I use boost libraries built for cygwin environnement (configure;make install), I have no problem linking with regex.

I have tried with threading=multi but obtained the same results. Maybe I should build the no-cygwin libraries totally outside cygwin, i.e. with a standalone compiler?
Any tricks?
