Yes; it's exactly this copy that I'd like to suppress. Is there a way to
do that? (Brutal modifications to the Boost build infrastructure are
welcome suggestions; I just need some direction here.)

I don't think so. Looking at Solaris, anyway:
$ ls -shF lib/libboost_thread*
1.0K lib/libboost_thread-sw-mt-d-1_34.so@
240K lib/libboost_thread-sw-mt-d-1_34.so.1.34.0*
240K lib/libboost_thread-sw-mt-d.so*
That's after building with "variant=debug link=shared threading=multi".
The first listed there is a symlink; the latter two are not. I'm
reasonably sure that if I linked against the last one in this listing,
that dependency is exactly what I'd get.
