Hi,

    I have a need to build Boost 1.33.1 [this is to match a legacy 
system which was supplied to us by an external party] as 64bit static 
libraries with the -fPIC option enabled.

    I know that the shared libraries are built with -fPIC but my linkage 
of the static libraries from 1.33.1 indicates that they are not build 
with -fPIC

    Does anyone have suggestion as to how best to enable PIC in Boost 
1.33.1 static libraries? e.g. Jam files ?

    I tried modifying the Jam files but didn't work out for me.

Regards
