Compiling only needed version

Description

I'm building boost using MinGW. I would like to know is
there way to only build static-link release version of
each library. I don't need debug and MinGW can't build
multy-threaded libraries (or can only build them) AFAIK.

Also can I disable extra tags for names (I need only 
one version of boost_date_time, so there is no need for
extra tags since I only use that one)?

The easiest way is to just build the sources of what you need directly, with whatever you use for building your own code. The Boost.Build way is to specify the -sBUILD option. From what I can discern the closest is "-sBUILD=release <runtime-link>dynamic <threading>multi". Unfortunately BBv1 doesn't support just building the static libraries. That option is available in BBv2, which is what the 1.34 release will use.
