Broadly speaking (beyond just Fedora), there's enough variability in the
potential names of Boost libraries that a package's configuration needs
the ability to specify a Boost library suffix.  It sounds like your
package's configuration is trying to be clever and divine the required
suffix--and it's failing and falling back to no suffix.

If your package's configuration won't let you specify a suffix, the most
expedient thing to do may be just to hack it on.  But an upstream-worthy
patch would add a means to specify an arbitrary suffix.  Also, -mt is a
saner default than no suffix at all.
