It failed with the current CVS HEAD. As non-Apple gcc I used a recent  
version of ConceptGCC which I have installed on my MacBook Pro, and  
had the following line in my user-config.jam:

using gcc : 4.1.1 : /Users/troyer/concepts/bin/g++ ;

I tried one of the regression tests and got the error messages are  
attached below. It would actually be very useful to get the gcc  
toolset to work under darwin, in addition to the darwin toolset.

The mpi module has not been initialized; MPI libraries will not be  
built.
hint: add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam to enable MPI support.
warning: Python location is not configured
warning: the Boost.Python library won't be built
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).
