 Hi,

 I am trying to compile boost on mac using gcc-4.8 and getting link errors.
 I have few reasons for this to be built with gcc and not clang which will
 deviate the actual issue.
 I have built boost with these steps:
 1. Edited user-config.jam in /tools/build/v2 and added the following
 using gcc : 3.2 : /usr/local/bin/g++-3.2 ;
 2. ./bootstrap --prefix=/custom/path
 3. ./b2 -d 2 toolset=gcc-4.8

 Errors are as below:
