bjam -q ${OPTIONS} --prefix="${D}/usr" --layout=system || die "building regression test helpers failed"; I lost further information than that, sorry. dev-zero told I should file a bug regardless so he remembers. This snippet seems to be ran from src_compile if FEATURES=test is on.
Looks like the problem I got. Boost fails about half way through the build.

emerged system and boost built to fix my error.
Old. We're now focusing on boost-1.4{1,2}.0. Feel free to open something new if you have still have tests failing there.
