This is an include path problem.  Unfortunately I don't know anything  
about bjam or the boost build process.  However I do know where you  
can find bits/c++config.h.

For each platform (32/64, 10.4/5/6) there  is a platform-specific  
directory, e.g.:

/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/i686-apple-darwin10/     // 32 bit Snow Leopard
/usr/include/c++/4.2.1/x86_64-apple-darwin10/   // 64 bit Snow Leopard

Inside of each of these you will find bits/c++config.h.  So you need  
an include path to /usr/include/c++/4.2.1/<correct platform>.

Happy hunting! ;-)
