[boost] Supported compilers: gcc on osx?

Hi All,

If I check the supported compilers page, gcc on darwin is supported - 
but I get the following error (boost_1_34_1/boost_1_35_0)
*
*The utf conversion in boost.program_options, for example to_utf8 gives

    std::runtime_error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

How do I repair this? The osx locale tools are not as conveniant as say 
ubuntu's ... (Should I not use Xcode's gcc, but build my own with a 
proper stdc++, or is there some fix in the os ?)

Further: I have osx 10.5, but bjam thinks I have 10.4 - this is not a 
problem I guess, but it sure is not correct:

    bin/darwin/debug/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/

(the build path)

Regards,
- Dirk
