Boost API changes generally involve more than a simple relink. Their data
structures and templates frequently change, often for bugfixes. In fact,
many boost libraries are header-only. I would recommend a full make clean
to remove old object files and do a full rebuild.
The alternative is to follow Mike's advice and somehow preserve the old
shared object files. Since Boost itself doesn't have many external
dependencies, this might not be difficult.
