This is not my bug, sorry. Autolink support is a centralized feature, not specific to any library.

  • the reason for the above report is maybe only of interest for people building the 'bjam stage' target
  • the set of build' libraries for this target is relatively small; it is required to manually build all required libraries including libboost_whatever.lib
  • since all lib* libs (prefix) are static by default voilá the command line is as follows: 'bjam debug release stage' and second, 'bjam debug release link=static stage'
