I'm currently investigating this issue, but I guess it's because of the installed boost version, which is 1.52.0-r6 (i.e. the oldest stable version in tree). Attaching build.log and further information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-p2p/bitcoind-0.10.0-r1

[Comment 4 Luke-Jr 2015-03-14 15:21:29 UTC]

Works fine here with dev-libs/boost-1.52.0-r6 and net-p2p/bitcoind-0.10.0-r1

What compiler?

[Comment 6 Florian Schmaus 2015-03-14 20:15:40 UTC]

As can be seen in the attached emerge.info, the used compiler was gcc 4.7.3. Also updating boost to the latest stable solved the compilation problem.

Can you confirm GCC 4.8.3 (current stable) also fixes this with the old boost?
