 The cxxflags are also applied to compiling C source files when using clang
 on OS X (darwin).  I believe this is a bug at least relative to the
 documentation and the discussion on the boost.build mailing list.

 I've attached a Boost.Build project (and some output) that shows the
 problem.

 I was able to test the following locally:

 - OS X

    - darwin (gcc) - OK
    - clang - FAIL

 - Linux

    - gcc - OK
    - clang - OK (see below)

 By inspection, at least the following seem to be incorrect as well:

 - borland
 - intel-darwin

 The fix seems to be just changing compile to compile.c++ where cxxflags is
 used there.
