I applied bits and pieces of your patch on an OS X 10.5.8 Intel system  
and am currently compiling boost 1.40.0.

  Wondering if this patch can make it into the boost 1.40.1 release or  
what ever patch release is coming out next.

This was my command:

bjam toolset=darwin --with-test --with-filesystem --with- 
program_options --with-iostreams --with-thread variant=release,debug  
threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared --prefix=/Users/Shared/ 
Toolkits/boost-1_40/ -layout=tagged architecture=combined address- 
model=32_64 install
