Re: [Boost-build] darwin.jam vs gcc.jam

I had the same problem, with gcc toolset under mac.

Mac OS X default gcc is somewhat different, e.g. it doesn't support -- 
start-group and --end-group which is used within gcc toolset.  
Moreover creation of shared libraries differs because it doesn't  
support -shared. Instead you would have to use -dynamiclib.

See the manpages for detailed overview :), but I guess that's the  
reason why we have a darwin toolset.
