Subject: [Boost-users] [build] Unexpected static libraries in 1.63
From: Gavin Lambert (gavinl_at_[hidden])

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?
