Successfully built the libraries in Mac OS 12.6.1, with "Apple clang version 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)” and C++ 03/11/14/17/2a, on both x86 and ARM.

Lots of warnings about sprintf, though:

./boost/test/utils/setcolor.hpp:92:31: warning: 'sprintf' is deprecated: This function is provided for compatibility reasons only.  Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead. [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
        m_command_size = std::sprintf( m_control_command, "%c[%c;3%c;4%cm",
                              ^
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h:188:1: note: 'sprintf' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
__deprecated_msg("This function is provided for compatibility reasons only.  Due to security concerns inherent in the design of sprintf(3), it is highly recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead.")

                                                      ^
