this is because upstream does not trust in compilers ABI stability even
across the same producer (they do not cover it in the test suite).

anyway i never thought of making this an explicit dependency, as it
should. indeed currently it is possible to use the boost libraries with
a compiler different from the one used to build them.

dirk, are you working at autoconf tests to guess boost linking params?

cheers
