I have a somewhat specific problem. I need to build Boost 1.55 with the GCC 4.8 compiler on the mac. I have installed gcc-4.8 using homebrew.

I have a somewhat comparable situation. I'm running OS X 10.7.5 and have installed gcc 4.7 from MacPorts. I appended this line to my ~/user-config.jam: using darwin : 4.7 : /opt/local/bin/c++-mp-4.7 : <compileflags>-std=c++11 ; and I invoke b2 with toolset=darwin-4.7. I found that 'darwin' seems to work better than 'gcc' because it better understands the linker flags for this platform.
