[Boost-users] Build difficulty on Darwin

Hi. I'm trying to build boost (to support a different project), and  
I'm having a certain amount of difficulty. I run:

> $ bjam "-sTOOLS=darwin" stage

and it goes off and churns for a bit, but a few things fail:

> darwin-Link-DyLib-action bin/boost/libs/test/build/ 
> libboost_prg_exec_monitor.dylib/darwin/debug/shared-linkable-true/ 
> libboost_prg_exec_monitor-d-1_33_1.dylib

> MkDir1 bin/boost/libs/test/build/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.dylib/ 
> darwin/release

There are a few other failures (6 in all):

libboost_prg_exec_monitor-d-1_33_1.dylib
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-1_33_1.dylib
libboost_test_exec_monitor-d-1_33_1.dylib
libboost_test_exec_monitor-1_33_1.dylib
libboost_unit_test_framework-d-1_33_1.dylib
libboost_unit_test_framework-1_33_1.dylib

In the end, I am unable to build a GNU tool that relies on boost  
regex, which is really all I want to do.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
