It is possible that BOOST_HAS_THREADS is being set for the library build and 
not for the project build, or vice versa. The thread autodetection logic is 
pretty complicated for gcc; maybe the fact that you're cross-compiling is 
confusing it.

Yes, it should be set for both. This should take care of the 
shared_ptr-related issues.

In principle, it might be better if you can solve the BOOST_HAS_THREADS 
mismatch since it has the potential to cause you more trouble in other 
libraries. If you don't need threads, you may try rebuilding (both Boost and 
the project) with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS defined.
