Comment (by adfernandes@…):

 There is an important thing to remember when debugging `boost build`s...
 and that is to swear loud and long. :-)

 I went over your attached log file (thanks for attaching!) and could not
 find anything obvious. As you probably noticed, no error is given by the
 boost build system as to what failed, or why.

 I do have one thing to suggest, though. I noticed that you are using a
 32-bit build of MacPorts, even on 10.8.2. Boost has a history of failing
 on 32-bit Mac (#35172). That ticket was closed since gcc seemed to respect
 the `-march` flag. My guess is that `clang` does not, and something is
 getting messed up there.

 Unfortunately, this is one of those "technically boost supports 32-bit
 builds on OS X", but given the number of bugs that have been reported,
 it's clear that they are never seriously tested (or in some cases, even
 built!) on 32-bit systems.

 I realize that if you adjust your MacPorts arch flags to go to a 64-bit
 build it may entail a lot of port builds and reinstallations... but I
 can't see or think of anything else that might be the problem... sorry.

 I'd appreciate if you replied either way (if you install 64-bit or not) so
 I can update this ticket, either way. Thanks!
