I think you have somehow set that incorrectly. Setting

        BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_NO_LIB

to 1 globally and then recompiling all modules that use program_option
should disable auto-linking. If it still kicks in, it means you either
have no set this define for some module, or have not rebuilt it.
