Component:  None                       |     Version:  Boost Development Trunk
 Severity:  Problem                    |    Keywords:                         
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 After compilation/installation of Boost, trying to build the Boost.Python
 example in libs/python/examples/quickstart makes bjam hang after executing
 the step

 darwin.link.dll bin/darwin-4.0.1/debug/extending.so

 The library file extending.so is still built (apparently correctly), but
 bjam does not continue after this step. By running the link command line
 (obtained with bjam -n -a) directly in the terminal, I have verified that
 it is not the linker that hangs.

 Tested with today's development trunk under MacOS 10.4.11 (Intel) and with
 Boost 1.35.0 under MacOS 10.4.11 (Intel and PowerPC). I have found reports
 about the same problem under MacOS 10.5 in various newsgroups.
