Very likely related to #11036

@djro I've met same problem. I'm afraid that your method doesn't work...

Because your boost lib is not match your bitcoind. when we make our bitcoind, we use boost lib 1.0, but we update boost lib to 2.0. We will meet the problem.
1. install the right version of boost. 2.rebuild bitcoind.
I hope these will help you.

I reinstalled boost and bitcoin and then ran bitcoin-cli again, but it still failed with the same error as above. Tests ran with make check passed.
```
dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5boost11this_thread6hidden9sleep_forERK8timespec
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-cli
  Expected in: /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/libboost_thread-mt.dylib
 in /usr/local/bin/bitcoin-cli
Abort trap: 6
```
UPDATE: After I manually removed bitcoind and bitcoin-cli from usr/local/bin and installed a fresh copy of bitcoin again, it worked.

This was true in my case, as well.
