New description:

 As noted on sage-support, the sage-5.0 '''binary''' `sage-5.0-linux-32bit-
 fedora_release_16_verne_-i686-Linux.tar.gz` requires the boost library
 `libboost_unit_test_framework` at runtime, since the binary was built on a
 machine with that library available.  PolyBoRi checks for
 `-lboost_unit_test_framework` and links against it if available.

 This is because of the PolyBoRi upgrade to version 0.8.1.  The older
 PolyBoRi in sage-4.8 did not do this.

 There are two solutions:
  1. Fix PolyBoRi not to link against `-lboost_unit_test_framework` when
 SAGE_FAT_BINARY=yes.
  2. Add the boost library to Sage (currently, only the boost headers are
 installed).
