A bunch of mingw tests fail with something like:

variable 'vtable for boost::XXX' can't be auto-imported

Googling around gives me:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2002-q3/msg00051.html

which suggests that

--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

should be added to compiler options to work this around. Before I go about hacking gcc.jam with that guess, can anybody running mingw test try to add

<cxxflags>--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

to options in "using" that configures mingw gcc?

I needed to add

<linkflags>-Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

to user-config.jam, rather than <cxxflags>, but with that option program_options/cmdline_test_dll passes, which didn't before.

I'll run a full test with that option tonight.

Sorry for confusing compiler and linker, thanks a lot of trying, and hopefully we'll have better mingw results tomorrow. If so, I'll change gcc.jam accordingly. - Volodya
