Ah, indeed, thank you!  Somehow I missed those.  #962320 seems like it
should be assigned to facter and merged with this bug; I don't think it's
Boost's fault that a binary links with two versions of the same shared
library (unless the contention is that symbol versioning should make this
safe, which can be quite challenging for C++ libraries).

Yup, confirmed that works.  Thank you!
