I have been using/linking with boost test, 1.39 -->1.45
Boost unit-test has been very robust on the whole
However migrating to 1.47 I am getting
links errors of the form:

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol:
.boost::unit_test::ut_detail::auto_test_unit_registrar::auto_test_unit_registrar(boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<const
char>)
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol:

boost::unit_test::lazy_ostream&,boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<const
char>,unsigned long,boost::test_tools::tt_detail::tool_level,boost::test_tools::tt_detail::check_type,unsigned
long,...)

.boost::unit_test::test_case::test_case(boost::unit_test::basic_cstring<const
char>,const boost::unit_test::callback0<boost::unit_test::ut_detail::unused>&)

The problem is on AIX 5.3. using v11.1 compiler
linking with libboost_unit_test_framework-mt-d.a
has always worked in the past.

The library compiles and links without any errors
on other platforms like HPUX/acc,linux32/gcc,linux64/gcc

Any help appreciated

   Best regards,
Ta,
