[Boost-users] How can I make the libboost_regex.a static library?

Transitioning an application from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 and I noticed
that neither the boost-devel nor boost-static rpms contain the
libboost_regex.a static library.  The boost-static rpm has most of the
static libs but not that one.  The CentOS 5 boost-devel package had
the static library.  I know dynamic libraries are encouraged but I
still need the static lib.

I grabbed the boost src rpm.  I guess I need to build a custom version
of the static rpm, but not sure yet which Makefile or where to make a
change to get the libboost_regex.a.

Thanks for any help.
