Unfortunately this is made a little harder since our builds of boost and yaml-cpp aren't hosted. However, the instructions for building them are at https://github.com/puppetlabs/pl-build-tools-vanagon/blob/master/configs/components/boost.rb and https://github.com/puppetlabs/pl-build-tools-vanagon/blob/master/configs/components/yaml-cpp.rb. Those both build statically, so you'd then use `-DBOOST_STATIC=ON -DYAMLCPP_STATIC=ON`. We use Boost 1.58 currently.
As for the specific issues, it looks like building with -fPIC would help with the errors you saw with static libraries (see https://github.com/puppetlabs/pl-build-tools-vanagon/blob/master/configs/components/boost.rb#L63-L64 and https://github.com/puppetlabs/pl-build-tools-vanagon/blob/master/files/cmake/linux-toolchain.cmake#L21-L22 ). The dynamic link issues are harder to pin down. That is likely an issue in the order things are linked (there are lots of possible build configurations, so the one you're trying with dynamic libraries is likely not tested).
