You should be able to work around this by passing -lboost_system to the build.

Could you please update to latest mdds and retry without your patch? It should work.

app-office/libreoffice-3.5.5.3 now builds correctly with Boost 1.50.
(app-office/libreoffice-3.6.0.4 has many unrelated build failures.)
