I also got the https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2992 bug. That's the one with the linking error caused by the functions get_file_name_from_handle_function and unlink_file. The functions are defined as static inline, they are however too big to be successfully inlined. One work around I found so far is to pass the /force:multiple switch to the linker. Far from being ideal as that may hide other linking issues.
Which compiler are you using? This seems a compiler bug, because even if it's too big, this shouldn't give any linking error.
The problem has nothing to do with the size of the functions. The problem is the local classes. MSVC, does not like local classes in functions defined in headers. Also, why are you declaring these static? The inline should be enough, and adding static causes technical ODR violations, and may prevent the duplicate definitions from being stripped out by the linker (I haven't tested this however).
