program doesn't work with -O2

[Antonio Coralles]

I'm writing on a c++ program which I recently switched from hand written 
makefiles to the gnu autotools. This was not that easy as I had 
expected,  as the program is about 25 000 lines. Finally it works, but 
only when compiled completly without optimazation. When I try for example
make clean; make CXXFLAGS="-O2" I get hundreds of messages like this one 
from the linker:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
`.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9date_time23gregorian_calendar_baseINS0_19year_month_day_baseINS_9gregorian9greg_yearENS3_10greg_monthENS3_8greg_dayEEEmE16end_of_month_dayES4_S5_' 
referenced in section `.rodata' of 
interface/shiftTable/lib_shifttable.a(lib_shifttable_a-dateFields.o): 
defined in discarded section 
`.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost9date_time23gregorian_calendar_baseINS0_19year_month_day_baseINS_9gregorian9greg_yearENS3_10greg_monthENS3_8greg_dayEEEmE16end_of_month_dayES4_S5_' 
of interface/shiftTable/lib_shifttable.a(lib_shifttable_a-dateFields.o)

This messages don't appear when I compile without optimisation. Besides 
the resulting exectutable is more or less useless because it contains 
the strange bugs - bugs which are not there when compiled for example 
with CXXFLAGS="".

Maybe someone can give me a hint what I'm doing wrong.

Here is some additional information, which may or may not be usefull:

I'm using gcc-3.3.5.

I'm using the following libraries:
1.)boost::smart_ptr - from boost-1.32.0
2.)boost::spirit - from boost-1.32.0
3.)boost::date_time - from boost-1.32.0
4.)sqlite-2.8.15
5.)gtkmm-2.4.8

My program is organized into subdirectories. A typical Makefile.am for a 
sub-dir looks like this:

#################################################################################
noinst_LIBRARIES = lib_shifttable.a

lib_shifttable_a_SOURCES = \
    tableField.hpp tableField.cc \
    textField.hpp textField.cc \
    coloredTextField.hpp coloredTextField.cc \
    workerScheduleField.hpp workerScheduleField.cc \
    poolScheduleField.hpp poolScheduleField.cc \
    statFields.hpp statFields.cc \
    dateFields.hpp dateFields.cc \
    shiftTable.hpp shiftTable.cc \
    shiftTableBox.hpp shiftTableBox.cc \
    monthBox.hpp monthBox.cc
   
lib_shifttable_a_CXXFLAGS = $(GTKMM_CFLAGS)
################################################################################

Linkage is done through the following command:
*g++  -O2   -o dpm  dpm-main.o dataStorage/lib_datastorage.a 
utility/lib_utils.a organizer/lib_organizer.a manpower/lib_manpower.a 
labourLaw/lib_labourlaw.a schedule/lib_schedule.a
