I am attempting to use Boost.Fiber on Mac OS X, but it always crashes in makecontext() which is now deprecated on Mac OS X.   Is there any plan to get asm working for OS X?

include <boost/fiber.hpp>

boost::fiber* fi;

void fib()
{
    for( int i = 0; i < 10; ++i )
        fi->yield();

};

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    boost::fiber f( boost::bind(fib),  boost::fiber::default_stacksize, boost::protected_stack_allocator());
    fi = &f;
    f.run();

    return 0;
}
