Boost. Link dependency with short name

Question

I'am trying build boost 1.69 on Solaris 11.3 with gcc 4.8.2. Then build is complete i'am see (with ldd libname.so) that linker using relative path in dynamic section tag NEEDED bin.v2/libs/atomic/build/gcc-4.8.2/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/libboost_atomic.so.1.69.0 It is not good. I want to linker use only libname without any path (absolute or relative). How i can set short name link?

So: outut ldd from solaris and ldd from RHEL 6

Solaris

ldd libboost_thread.so.1.69.0

    **bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.8.2/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/libboost_system.so.1.69.0** =>        bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.8.2/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/libboost_system.so.1.69.0

.........

linux

ldd libboost_thread.so.1.69.0

    linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x00ba6000)
    **libboost_system.so.1.69.0** => /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.69.0 (0x00a53000)

........

Why on Solaris boost building with using crasy path in dependency name, but on Linux - it normal - only libname without any path. How i can say to b2 or other tool to use only short dependency name?

What does `elfdump -d libboost_thread.so.1.69.0` show on Solaris? Is it actually part of the NEEDED entry or from the RPATH? — alanc, Apr 17 '19 at 20:58

WHY? — Shampoo, May 06 '19 at 17:14

The Solaris linker is simply recording what it was told - it appears the command to link the software passed bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.8.2/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/libboost_system.so.1.69.0 to the linker, instead of the normal -Lbin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.8.2/release/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/ -lboost_system. You'll have to look into the build scripts/Makefiles to determine why it's doing that.
