+.. [#warnings] Remember that warnings are specific to each compiler
+ implementation. The developer of a given Boost library might
+ not have access to your compiler. Also, some warnings are
+ extremely difficult to eliminate in generic code, to the point
+ where it's not worth the trouble. Finally, some compilers don't
+ have any source code mechanism for suppressing warnings.
+
+.. [#distinct] This convention distinguishes the static version of
+ a Boost library from the import library for an
+ identically-configured Boost DLL, which would otherwise have the
+ same name.
+
+.. [#debug-abi] These libraries were compiled without optimization
+ or inlining, with full debug symbols enabled, and without
+ ``NDEBUG`` ``#define``\ d. Although it's true that sometimes
+ these choices don't affect binary compatibility with other
+ compiled code, you can't count on that with Boost libraries.
+
+.. [#native] This feature of STLPort is deprecated because it's
+ impossible to make it work transparently to the user; we don't
+ recommend it.
