[Boost-users] Building Boost as Universal Binary on Mac OS X

I would like to build 1.35.0 Boost libs (especially date_time,  
filesystem, regex, system, and thread) on my G5 as Universal Binaries  
with bjam 3.1.16, so I can use them in a project with Xcode on both my  
G5 and my Intel-based MacBook Pro. (I was surprised they did not build  
that way by default). The command I used was:

        $> bjam --toolset=darwin --build-type=complete --with-thread --with- 
date_time --with-filesystem --with-regex --with-system

I know they're just built PPC because I used the `file` command, e.g.:

        $> file libboost_system-mt-d-1_35.dylib
        libboost_system-mt-d-1_35.dylib: Mach-O dynamically linked shared  
library ppc

Can anyone help?

TIA,

T
