I would suggest that the reverse is preferable: dynamically link the
boost.thread library.

If you must statically link boost.thread, it might be worth trying putting

namespace boost
{
        void tss_cleanup_implemented()
        {}
}

in your DLL's code. This should avoid linking in the problematic part of
the boost library (though I haven't tried it). You will then need to
ensure that every thread that uses boost.thread facilities (especially
boost::thread_specific_ptr) and is not started with boost::thread calls
boost::on_thread_exit() when it exits.
