HI all, I am trying to compiles gnuradio 3.4.0 with an old boost library and compilation fails with these error. I found an old thread that says that problem is linking policy [http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2011-03/msg00465.html](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2011-03/msg00465.html) any ideas ?

Any Ideas ?
