both branches (main & hotfix) pass configure (without LIBS="...") here's 
what relevant configure output looks like:

checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no
checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no
checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no
checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no
checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... yes
checking for joinable pthread attribute... PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... no
checking for boostlib >= 1.38... yes
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes
checking whether the boost thread library is usable... yes
checking for sin in -lmkl... no
checking for sin in -lm... yes

and they both have problems during make starting here (there's more):
../vfe/libvfe.a(vfesession.o): In function 
`vfe::vfeSession::Shutdown(bool)':
vfesession.cpp:(.text+0xcd2): undefined reference to 
`boost::thread::native_handle()'
vfesession.cpp:(.text+0xce7): undefined reference to 
`boost::thread::join_noexcept()'
vfesession.cpp:(.text+0xcfb): undefined reference to 
`boost::thread::detach()'

when we get this sorted out, what are the chances of leaving the hotfix 
branch for this kind of testing ... I'd like to add it to buildbot
