Comment(by trog24@…):

 Both links are libboost_system not being found by libboost_filesystem
 which is what this ticket is about.  We are not suppose to have to tell
 libboost_filesystem where libboost_system is located because they both are
 in the same library package.  This is a case where a library dependent on
 another library within its own library system cannot find the library it
 is dependent on; not a library dependent on a library outside its own
 library system.  A outside party linking to the libraries should not have
 to tell a library dependent on a library within its own library system
 where that library is.  Such dependencies should be taken care of during
 the building of the library system.  It is an intra (within its own
 system), not inter (between systems) library problem.
