I have to disagree with what I think you're saying here. The
Boost.Context at the tip of boost trunk (rev 84065) builds fine for me
on OS X 10.7.4 in both 32 and 64 bit.

I'm using Xcode 4.3.3, gcc 4.2.1, these commands:

./b2 variant=debug address-model=32 architecture=x86 link=static
threading=multi libs/context/test
./b2 variant=debug address-model=32 architecture=x86 link=static
threading=multi libs/context/example

address-model=64 works too. The example programs seem to run correctly.

I'm building it now. Will let you know what I find.
