Since no one voiced opinions either way. I patched the two libraries that had problems: libs/filesystem/test/Jamfile and libs/signals/test/Jamfile to not use auto-linking. That should clear up a bunch of regressions :-) Can we make this toolset-specific?
We could, but it is something that is *supposed* to apply to all toolsets. That is... right now only the intel-win32-7.1-vc6-* toolsets show the problem because they are the only ones that have a version number. If there was some other auto-link supporting toolset with a version it would also break.
It's really not a toolset related choice but a library choice. If one makes use of a library that supports auto-link by default. One has to turn auto-link off if you refer to it directly (<lib>whatever, or <dll>whatever).
Understood, thanks. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
