I just built from a recent cvs using: ICU_PATH=/usr ICU_LINK="-licuuc -licui18n" PYTHON_ROOT=/usr PYTHON_VERSION=2.3 bjam -sTOOLS=gcc stage

I noticed that symlinks are missing. for each lib "x", in stage/lib there is

libx.so.1.0.0 (actual binary) libx.so -> libx.so.1.0.0 (link)

but there must be also libx.so.1 -> libx.so.1.0.0

This is because (I guess) soname of the library is set to libx.so.1, and when you link to libx then at runtime it will look for libx.so.1 (which it won't find)

With GCC, we set the soname to "libx-1_33.so.1.33.0". So I don't see why we need the symlink you mention.

Sorry, my mistake. My version had been patched to do this.
