Attempting to compile LibreOffice 3.6.1.2 with system boost results in

make[1]: *** [tail_build] Error 2

because the build system "forgets" to link to libboost_system.

Preliminary fix

This fixes it for me, but probably isn't quite the right thing to do (haven't fully figured out the new build system yet).
Comment 2 David Tardon 2012-09-12 04:36:24 UTC 
We need to backport http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=43a20bf6fc3213c38a77a2941a4999313bdfefbe into 3.6 .
Comment 3 David Tardon 2012-09-12 07:57:34 UTC 
I have posted a review request for inclusion of the fix in 3.6
