[Boost-users] Multiple Versions of Boost in the Same Executable

I have a large executable that loads shared libraries as plugins. Some of 
those shared libraries dynamically link with an old boost version that's 
part of the system (/usr/lib) when they are loaded. 

I want to build my own plugin shared library, but I want to use a newer 
boost version. I tend to link boost in statically. 

My question is, will it cause any issues if I create a shared library that 
is statically linked with a newer version of boost, and have it loaded by 
the same executable that is dynamically linked with an old version of 
boost?

I hoping this'll work, as I can't upgrade the system boost very easily.
