I was able to compile Math examples without any problem.

I tried compiling Boost Math and math tests and in both cases cc1plus.exe 
stops working (no useful information why it crashed).

Compilation command:

b2 install --with-math -a -q toolset=gcc-4.8.1 address-model=64 
variant=debug,release threading=multi link=shared,static cxxflags=-std=c++11

I think this might actually be related to this:

However, I don't know if it is because there is no useful information in the 
log output (I snipped out just one log entry, but there are tons of them):
