emerge 1.34.0 and also froze X, but emerged fine when I exited X and did it from console.
Boost is making heavy use of C++ features that put a big load on your system. Error is not in this particular package, but in your system's unability to sustain such a big load. It might be enough to lower the number of parallel build process to one by using `MAKEOPTS=-j1 emerge boost`.
