Autoconf fails in debian testing with libboost 1.40

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install libboost1.40-dev using aptitude 
In libtorrent dir: 
2. ./autotool.sh
3. ./configure

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected behaviour is to keep on with the configuration, since
boost_system-mt was found. Instead, configuration stops with the message
"configure: error: Could not link against boost_system-boost_system-mt !".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libtorrent version: RC_0_15
os: GNU/Linux (debian testing "squeeze", kernel version: 2.6.32-trunk-686)

Please provide any additional information below.
Downgrading boost to 1.39 solves the problem!

See attached config.log for more info.

Hi,

this seems unusual. Please try the following in order to be sure to install all
needed build dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep libtorrent-rasterbar
