As you probably know, if you add -lboost_system (maybe needs also
other boost components after that) to LDFLAGS it will go away.  Of
course there should be a better solution for this and I'll try to find
it, but I don't know how yet and it may take a while.

It seems that the thread component pulls system since 1.53, and OGRE
1.8.1 was released well before that and people have problems with
this.  I don't know if this will be addressed upstream with a new .2
release, doesn't look like it will happen.

Even if I try to package 1.8.1 I don't think that there's a high
probability that this will be fixed (apart that it will take a while
with the delay in NEW queue, which is why I've been trying to backport
fixes while 1.9-rc1 is accepted).


Cheers.
