I sent an email in private to Antony about the same errors.

After some quick analysis, link.h must be ifdefed against BOOST_OS_MACOS.
Simple enough, fixed on my fork.

However, more importantly, in Linux we have RTLD_DEEPBIND [1], but in OS X
we don't [2]. We have something *similar*  in RTLD_FIRST but that most
likely will break code and it's not entirely what and application will want.

I will test rapidly here and see if the some tutorials continue to work
after that, as well as the tests.
