I'm trying to build boost 1.56.0 for OSX 10.10 with Xcode 5.1.1
(clang-503.0.40).

Xcode 5.1.1
Build version 5B1008
Apple LLVM version 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0
Thread model: posix

When I try to build boost thread, the compile fails building thread.cpp on
the command:

    "g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall
-pedantic -gdwarf-2 -fexceptions -Wno-long-long -Wextra -Wno-long-long
-Wno-variadic-macros -Wunused-function -fpermissive -pedantic
-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_ATOMIC_STATIC_LINK=1
-DBOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_LIB=1
-DBOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_CHRONO -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX -DNDEBUG  -I"." -c -o
"bin.v2/libs/thread/build/darwin-4.2.1/release/link-static/threading-multi/pthread/thread.o"
"libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp"

The error is:

Sure enough, boost/utility/detail/result_of_iterate.hpp doesn't exist from
the base of the project. It does if you start at
libs/utlility/include/boost/utility/detail, though. Most of what's in
boost/ is a symlink to directories in libs (I guess this is how
modulization works), and if boost/utility were a symlink
libs/utility/include/boost/utility, I think this code in forward1.hpp would
work. But boost/utility isn't a symlink - boost/utility is an actual
directory with a few symlinks to files in it, but none of them leads to
result_of_iterate.hpp.

There's an email (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215233.php)
to the developers list from back in July discussing this build break in the
1.56.0 beta 1, but I'm seeing this at the tag boost-1.56.0 for the 1.56.0
release in git.I don't seem to be able to build 1.57.0 either. Boost 1.56.0
wouldn't have shipped with a broken boost thread compile on OSX 64-bit, so
I'm certain that its something bad that I've done. Can anyone figure out
what I'm doing wrong from that command line or the error printout?
