This suggests that your compiler is not running with threads enabled,
whereas you instructed `bjam` to compile the threaded version of
Boost:

> ./bjam cxxflags="-O2" release threading=multi link=static

Try to compile with threading=single; if that works, you might want to
check your compiler's docs on how to enable threading support.

Cheers,
