Not sure if anyone cares but:

I'm seeing this as well on FreeBSD-7.0-amd64 machine I have.  There
are a lot of warnings (mostly string casting which newer more stricter
gcc's don't like).

The good news is other than a small patch to
libs/regex/build/Jamfile.v2 (adding /usr/local/lib to search path) and
the setting of  LD_LIBRARY_PATH within gcc.jam, beta1 built
successfully on my FreeBSD machine!  (and the asio networking examples
seem to work just fine).

This release with some minor edits will be MUCH more friendlier to the
FreeBSD community for sure.

I ran regression tests on it as well and it had some failures - I
think.  I'm still new to running them so I can't really be more
specific right now.
