[C++-sig] compilation problems with mingw v2.0

[sashan]

Hi

I know this thread is old but I'm getting similar link errors when using 
MinGW 2.0. I'm using the latest from cvs (deleted the contents of the 
boost directory and did a checkout) How did you get around this?  This 
is the command line I used to initiate the build:

bjam -sTOOLS=mingw -sBUILD=release -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY=d:\mingw

I can build Boost.Python fine with MSVC6.0.

Thanks
