Comment (by kencu):

 ppc is still actively supported by macports, also i386.

 this old boost never considered an arch arm64 would come along and be a
 universal arch needing support. but now it has come anong.

 someone needs to sit down with the code in darwin.jam and add support for
 arm64 as a universal arch, ideally without breaking everything else in the
 process.
