[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#721577: libboost-thread1.54.0: should link against Boost.Atomics on some architectures

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: libboost-thread1.54.0
Version: 1.54.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.2

On some architectures (at least ia64 and s390[x]), libboost_thread
needs to link against libboost_atomics to avoid winding up with an
undefined reference to boost::atomics::detail::lockpool::get_lock_for.
Otherwise, some packages (such as gnuradio) will FTBFS:

  /usr/lib/gcc/ia64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../libboost_thread.so: undefined reference to `boost::atomics::detail::lockpool::get_lock_for(void const volatile*)'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: *** [gnuradio-runtime/lib/gr_runtime_test] Error 1

It may be simplest to have it do so unconditionally.

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
