Hi,

I'm on OS X, and I have a gcc 4.5 from macports (because I wanted
C++0x features).  I downloaded boost and compiled the regex library,
but used the default boost build commands so it used apple's gcc,
which led to weird bug when linked to a program created with gcc4.5.
(Maybe that's not supposed to happen?  I can start another thread
about that.)  Now I'm trying to build boost with the gcc 4.5, but that
doesn't work...

I followed these instructions to build bjam:

   http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/jam/building.html

I also edited a 'user-config.jam' to have:

   using gcc : 4.5 : g++-mp-4.5 ;

Then went to BOOST_ROOT and ran:

   bjam toolset=gcc stage

And it eventually barfs with this:

   gcc.link.dll
bin.v2/libs/regex/build/gcc-4.5/release/threading-multi/libboost_regex.dylib
   ld: unknown option: -h
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any ideas?

thanks,
Rob
