If you don't mind modifying boost/config/compiler/gcc.hpp ...

Here's how I patched it: (very last lines in the file)

// last known and checked version is 4.0:
#if (__GNUC__ > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 3) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 4))
#  if defined(BOOST_ASSERT_CONFIG)
#     error "Unknown compiler version - please run the configure  
tests and report the results"
#  else
#     warning "Unknown compiler version - please run the configure  
tests and report the results"
#  endif
#endif

BTW: Although my build half-succeeded (or half failed depending on  
your point
of view :-) I'm more and more of the opinion that all this bjam  
rigmarole is
strictly *not* needed!

When I got fed up with the miles and miles of warnings/errors, I just  
decided
to drop the "boost" subdir into Xcode and use it "as is". Since boost  
is supposed
to be a 100% header file solution, the rationale for "building it"  
somehow
eludes me ...

Anyway, I'm glad to report that I'm up and running with boost 1.32 on  
OS X 10.4
Tiger with Xcode 2.0 (next step: do the same for CW 9.5 ... :)
