I have successfully built the boost libraries for C++03/11/14/17/20/2b on Mac OS 13.4.1 with:

$ clang++ -v
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin22.5.0

But on my M1 Mac:
$ clang++ -v
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin22.5.0

Boost.Coroutine failed to build.

clang-darwin.link.dll bin.v2/libs/coroutine/build/clang-darwin-14/release/cxxstd-03-iso/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/libboost_coroutine.dylib

Which caused the build of Boost.Fiber to fail as well (C++11 and later)

There’s another error at the start of the build log that may be relevant:
