Comment:

 This summary is, unfortunately, entirely correct.

 Boost also has a nasty habit of using quite different compiler settings
 for clang++ and gcc++, the most recent one being completely different
 link-visibility settings.

 Personally, my company has actually began migrating away from boost
 because of issues like these. The header-only parts are okay, but the
 library issues are driving us insane.

 Marking the bug as "invalid" because, technically, it isn't a bug, it's
 mixing incompatible dynamic libraries. Even though it should not be a
 problem. Even though it's silly to have incompatibilities like this.
 Sorry.

 Wow. It's like using dynamic libraries back in the 1980s!
