## or dynamic. Currently only linux uses dynamic linking by default
## although it works fine on mac osx as well
staticLinking <- function() {

## Use R's internal knowledge of path settings to find the lib/ directory
## plus optinally an arch-specific directory on system building multi-arch
BoostLdPath <- function() {
    if (nzchar(.Platform$r_arch)) {	## eg amd64, ia64, mips

## Provide linker flags -- i.e. -L/path/to/libBoost -- as well as an
## optional rpath call needed to tell the Linux dynamic linker about the
## location.  This is not needed on OS X where we encode this as library
## built time (see src/Makevars) or Windows where we use a static library
## Updated Jan 2010:  We now default to static linking but allow the use
##                    of rpath on Linux if static==FALSE has been chosen
##                    Note that this is probably being called from LdFlags()
