 The following table shows which components use a library (shared or
 static) and the corresponding "-l" flag.
 
+Beware that every shared library comes in two flavors, one
+for single-thread and one for multi-threaded applications (except
+Boost.Thread, which is only multi-threaded). To the following "-l" flags
+you will need to add -st for single-threaded and -mt for multi-threaded
+flavors (ie. -lboost_date_time-st and -lboost_date_time-mt).

 Most of Boost is installed using the package libboost-dev.
 The components with a shared library have separate -dev packages.

 Threaded Applications
 ---------------------
 
-You need to specify -D_REENTRANT at compile time to build
-threaded applications.
+You need to specify -pthread switch on the gcc command line to build
+threaded applications. Remember to use the -mt library flavor in place
+of the -st.
 
-This behaviour changed in boost 1.30.2; prior versions mistakenly
-did not require that symbol _REENTRANT be defined.
