This applies to any library written in C++, not just Boost. Botan is
in C++.

And it applies to C libraries as well, but apparently they are
more stable?

In general, anyone experimenting with new versions of compilers has to
be aware of such issues, and compile everything consistently.

The mtn binary for Linux on the mtn website should be more fully
described (compiler version, required dynamic library versions), so
people can do the right thing with it.
