The thing that is "static" with the -s label is the linking against the
C++ runtime library, not the Boost library itself.

See the Getting Started guide on library naming:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#library-naming
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming
