[boost] [wave] build hangs on GNU/Linux/amd64

I've been trying to build boost on an amd64 machine under Debian Linux 
but it hangs trying to compile part of the wave library. Is it possible 
to skip building the wave library as a temporary work around (I am not 
familiar with jam)?

I'm using the deb source package (from 1.33.0) from the unstable Debian 
distribution: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/boost

I am building on the stable distribution (i.e. trying to create a back 
port because of the broken timed mutexes in 1.32).

The build gets to:

    "g++"   -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-255  -D_REENTRANT  -g -O0 
-fno-inline -pthread   -I"bin/boost/libs/wave/build" 
-I"/home/users/russell/cvs/debPackages/boost/boost_1_33_0"   -I 
"/home/users/russell/cvs/debPackages/boost/boost_1_33_0"  -o 
"bin/boost/libs/wave/build/libboost_wave.a/gcc/debug/threading-multi/instantiate_cpp_literalgrs.o" 
 
"/home/users/russell/cvs/debPackages/boost/boost_1_33_0/libs/wave/build/../src/instantiate_cpp_literalgrs.cpp"
    "/usr/bin/objcopy" --set-section-flags .debug_str=contents,debug 
"bin/boost/libs/wave/build/libboost_wave.a/gcc/debug/threading-multi/instantiate_cpp_literalgrs.o"

at which point it hangs (top shows cc1plus using 99.9% CPU). Please let 
me know if I can supply more info to help debug this problem.
