I am getting the same errors [2], however, the suggested solution of
using the darwin toolset isn't option, because I need to pass the
-std=c++0x flag on the command line to bjam for C++0x support. I am
trying to build Boost with the latest g++ 4.6.1 on Mac OS X Snow
Leopard:

    ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=gcc
    ./bjam cxxflags=-std=c++0x

This was suggest by Vincente on stackoverflow [1]. Does anyone know a
workaround for this problem?
