boost/thread build problem on Linux

I am a brand new boost user (a couple hours). I downloaded boost 
1_25_0 yesterday because i am interested in the thread library for a 
new project we are starting.

Trying to build the lib i have:
linux-cs01:boost_1_25_0> export BOOST_ROOT=/home/smarc/boost_1_25_0/
linux-cs01:boost_1_25_0> jam -f tools/build/allyourbase.jam -

I am not terribly worried about the warnings at this point. I'm 
confident they will be fixed soon. The problem comes from xtime.cpp:
gcc-C++-action 
libs/thread/build/bin/libboost_thread/gcc/debug/runtime-link-
dynamic/xtime.o 
libs/thread/build/../src/xtime.cpp:47: #error "xtime_get 
implementation undefined"

getttimeofday is suported on Linux but for some reason boost thinks 
it is not.

I'll appreciate any workaround.

Sorry if this problem has already been reported.

Seb.
