Thanks for the idea.  It appears as if the configure script (or bjam)
adds some Mac specific flags to the compiler command resulting in:

:info:build g++-mp-4.6: error: x86_64: No such file or directory
:info:build g++-mp-4.6: error: unrecognized option '-no-cpp-precomp'
:info:build g++-mp-4.6: error: unrecognized option '-arch'

The -no-cpp-precomp flag should probably be removed -- it has been
silently ignored since Apple GCC 3.3 [1] and so is not needed.  As for
-arch I am not sure.

Anyway, it was worth a try.

Regards, Freddie.
