As it turns out, -Wl,--copy-dt-needed-entries isn't supported by gold (yay). The patch Roger Leigh posted to the Boost bugtracker seems to have been ignored[1], but I'm glad that there's been some discussion between Roger and the Boost maintainers[2]. Hopefully this will be sorted out in the future. I'm not sure what other Boost-based package maintainers are doing. I suspect they're just working around the problem by linking to the missing libraries. I do not plan to do this with btag (unless it's required in the near future for whatever reason), though I've patched upstream for convenience. If we get pkg-config support, I'll adapt btag's build system upstream and the Debian package as well.
