Some corrections to my last post:

The problem is _not_ the PPC code generation and/or the GCC version; I  
was on the wrong track with that.
The problem seems to be with 64-bit code.
The following command works fine to built the 32-bit versions of boost:

bjam --prefix=/somepath --layout=versioned toolset=darwin  
architecture=combined link=static install

I've just removed the address-model=32_64 parameter.
Anyone has an idea why building the 64-bit version fails on Snow  
Leopard?

Regards,
Mani
