I would like to report another error, triggered when cross-compiling for 
MacOS on a Linux host.  The following minimal test program fails to compile:

   #include "boost/container/flat_map.hpp"

   int main() {
     boost::container::flat_map<int, int> m1, m2;
     m1.insert(m2.begin(), m2.end());
   }

Although the problem is triggered by Boost.Container, the actual error 
appears to be in Boost.Move.  On line 958 of
boost/move/algo/detail/merge.hpp, the function 
merge_adaptive_ONlogN_recursive is called with length arguments of mixed 
types if size_type != size_t, thereby preventing the compiler from 
instantiating the merge_adaptive_ONlogN_recursive function template.
