We have the header and dependency information for boost.context (thread 
chrono system date_time) and components depending upon boost.context 
(coroutine, coroutine2, fiber), all extracted from the header autolink 
information.  This information varies for older Boost releases.

Whether that's correct, sufficient or functional I'm afraid I don't know 
because I've not used it myself.  How is boost.context normally informed 
about these details when compiling and linking?

If there's additional work we need to do to make this work, I'll be 
happy to look into it.
