LyX originally uses the AC_CHECK_LIB macro to check for boost, however
this macro always calls a C compiler, even to check for a C++ library
such as boost. This made the test program built for this check to
always fail to link when boost was compiled witha recent enough
compiler.
A fix was submitted upstream [1], and this patch needs to be applied
meanwhile.
