Hi,

you are right probably some gcc / clang mix was there, now i recompiled boost with gcc-11 and the linking errors are gone but now i get errors at runtime.

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/boost-1.76.0_gcc-11_libs
In project-config.jam:
#if ! clang in [ feature.values <toolset> ]
#{
#    using clang ; 
#}

#project : default-build <toolset>clang ;

using gcc : 11.1.0 : /usr/local/Cellar/gcc/11.1.0_1/bin/g++-11 ;

and then:
sudo ./b2 cxxflags=-std=gnu++20 install
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/boost-1.76.0_gcc-11_libs/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
and at runtime I get:
dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5boost15program_options3argB5cxx11E
  Referenced from: /Users/stegra/Projects/VSCode/BoostCookbook/./Chapter01/01_A_program_options_base/main
  Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libboost_program_options.dylib
 in /Users/stegra/Projects/VSCode/BoostCookbook/./Chapter01/01_A_program_options_base/main
Thanks
Stefano
