No, that's not normal. Or at least, it's not intended. You might try using <define>BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB to suppress automatic linking altogether.
Thought so that this is the cause for the trouble. Thx for the hint. Put the parameter in the bjam parameter (as you proposed later). (I still haven't found out how those Jam files work) See below...
What header? Why would you do that?
Googling brought me to this approach... uhm...
Did you follow the directions in http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html ?
This used to work. If someone broke it, I'm not sure how or who.
I think so... Tried adding in the BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB parameter as you proposed...
