 Reporter:  anonymous       |        Type:  Bugs            
   Status:  new             |   Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost  |     Version:  Boost 1.52.0    
 Severity:  Cosmetic        |    Keywords:                  
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 The echo builtin in OS X's sh does not support any command line switches,
 which results in bootstrap.sh's output being somewhat ugly (but still
 working; this is purely cosmetic). The attach patch simply replaces all of
 the uses of echo -n with printf, which works on all unix-like systems.
