I've recently rebuilt Boost 1.63 locally for both Windows and Linux, 
requesting dynamic libraries only (link=dynamic).  However several 
libraries are still being built in both static and dynamic forms:

  - chrono
  - system
  - timer
  - unit_test_framework

Additionally some libraries are being built only in static forms:

  - exception
  - test_exec_monitor

I assume the latter is intentional, as presumably some libraries can 
only work as static libraries.  Is the former intentional or a bug?  It 
seems like a bug.  Or do these contain symbols that the dynamic 
libraries do not?
