*Sigh*.  The linking code doesn't
distinguish between .DS_Store and
any other file.  As a result, it
tries to create a link to it, which
fails because .DS_Store exists in
the include directory for every
library.  If you delete all of them
from the directory tree, it should
allow b2 headers to work.  (Note that
I don't know whether this is even
possible and what consequences it
would have, as I have no idea what
the purpose of .DS_Store is in the
first place.)
