Given that, the follow-up question is: which version of dev-libs/icu is installed ?

[Comment 4 Igal Baevsky 2014-07-30 02:45:53 UTC]

Same issue here with: dev-libs/icu-52.1:0/52

duplicate of Bug #507780?

probably, the patch from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507780#c2
solved it for me

Same for me.

[Comment 10 Till Schäfer 2014-07-30 11:29:08 UTC]

same here ...

[Comment 11 Randall Wald 2014-07-30 15:07:52 UTC]

I'm hitting this bug too (also with dev-libs/boost-1.52.0-r7 and dev-libs/icu-52.1), but I'm wondering if my recent upgrade to sys-libs/glibc-2.19-r1 (from sys-libs/glibc-2.17) might also be involved: the recommended patch was for a problem with sys-libs/glibc-2.18 compatibility. If so, now that sys-libs/glibc-2.19-r1 has been fully unmasked, more and more people are going to run into this bug...perhaps the patch should be updated and included in a new revbump of boost.

[Comment 12 jackieku 2014-07-30 15:32:17 UTC]

Same here. (amd64)
