Looks to me as though instead of following the instructions at
www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html you are trying to build some
other way.

If you need to use some other build system, try it first with "bjam -d+2
...", examine the command-lines generated by Boost.Build, and ensure that
your build system is passing the same options to the compiler and linker.

Just follow the directions and your sanity will return.
