The failure kind for Dirxion is quite different... while the BGDX  
problems manifested themselves as complaints about "-shared" being an  
unknown option, the Dirxion tests are failing with something really  
weird:

/usr/bin/libtool: for architecture: cputype (16777234) cpusubtype (0)  
file: -lSystem is not an object file (not allowed in a library)
...failed darwin-Link-DyLib-action  
/Users/stephencarson/Development/boost/results/bin/boost/libs/config/ 
test/link/liblink_test.dylib/gcc-3_3-darwin/debug/shared-linkable-true/ 
liblink_test-gcc33-d-1_33.dylib...

It's a really strange error message, especially since others have a  
similar configuration to Dirxion's and haven't had a problem. The  
dmcgrath tests are running on Tiger (with a G4 Powerbook) as well, but  
haven't shown the same issues... Stephen, have you upgraded to Xcode  
2.1?
