Interestingly, an exception from boost still causes a crash dump even from a static build.

$ ./bx fetch-header foobar
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<boost::program_options::too_many_positional_options_error> >'
  what():  too many positional options have been specified on the command line
Aborted (core dumped)

See #118

This appears to be related to an outstanding czmq issue.

[evoskuil]

We now have successful command execution with built-libraries statically-linked.
