No. gcc doesn't allow automatic linking

Has a request been submitted?

As this isn't currently implementable, I'm going to close this issue down.

If you'd like to submit a feature request to the gcc folks and can get it implemented, we will of course add support.

I was just trying to use boost filesystem with gcc, and I didn't know I also had to include the boost::system library.

Is it possible to update the documentation for these linked libraries so they say which libraries are required?

Please file a separate ticket.
