Thanks Howard,

The default boost build does not include c++11 support, correct? 
i.e.
> ./bootstrap --prefix=./standard_build
> ./b2 install

Is this the correct build parameters to build boost with c++11 support?

(Below) Is this is known issue, am I missing something, or does the libboost_system.a library need to be compiled differently than the default directions to work with c++11 support?

The following code produces linker errors when the compiler options -std=c++11and libc++ are used:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
   return 0;
}

This is just a guess, but it looks like you built the boost lib with -stdlib=libc++, and the above code without -stdlib=libc++.  Note that both the compile phase and the link phase needs to know about -stdlib=libc++.
