Because of issues in the Boost headers, neither boost nor any packages that depend on Boost will build with GCC 4.4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Thanks for submitting your patches; I see you're even adding them to the tracker bug. Assigning to maintainers.
Fixed in boost-1.35.0-r4. Thanks!
Shouldn't this be marked RESOLVED FIXED then?
em, yes :-) thanks

Just give me some time to bump to boost-1.38.0 and see whether that one builds...
I am also suffering from this problem (~amd64, sys-devel/gcc-4.3.3 and dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1). Some #includes are missing, functions are assumed to be implicitly declared, leading to errors reported by the compiler. Interestingly enough, if built manually (by launching boost_1_34_1/tools/jam/src/build.sh) the source is built with no problem. The root cause that makes the ebuild to fail (in my case, at least) is the '-combine' gcc compilation flag which causes the compiler to stop at error in the code which otherwise left undetected. If that makes sense I can prepare a patch which would fix this problem.
The problem I am facing is actually different from the one described here. I opened a separate Bug #262174.
i don't understand why this is failing. there are a ton of strict-aliasing warnings when compiling libs/wave/src/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.cpp but it does succeed. halo ~/portage/dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r4/work/boost_1_35_0 # "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O2 -march=core2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wno-parentheses -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -fPIC -DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/wave/build/gcc-4.4/gentoorelease/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.o" "libs/wave/src/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.cpp" -Wno-strict-aliasing halo ~/portage/dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r4/work/boost_1_35_0 # echo $? 0 BTW, we will also need these patches added to the 1.36 patchset.

My personal experience: I was trying to upgrade from boost 1.35.0-r4 (built with gcc 4.3.3) to boost 1.35.0-r5 (gcc 4.4.0). It fails for me in the already mentioned instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.cpp. However, it fails on that file for every more recent boost version, including 1.39.0. Also, if I try to compile that file manually, it's fine. If I simply run the reconstructed command in the workdir: bjam-1_35 -q gentoorelease -sICULUDE=/usr/include -sEXPAT_LIBPATH=/usr/lib --without-mpi --user-config=/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5/work/boost_1_35_0/user-config.jam --boost-build=/usr/share/boost-build-1_35 --prefix=/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5/image//usr --layout=versioned the build seems to complete correctly (well, aside of all those strict aliasing warnings, including "does break" ones). Can it be a problem with portage ?
Funny, repeated invocation of 'ebuild <ebuild name> merge' eventually gets around the problem. Could either portage or bjam have a buffer overrun problem or such ?
I said repeated, cause a single one is not enough.

Well, late last night, I was somehow able to get the latest versions (boost-1.37.0-r1 and boost-build-1.37.0) to compile and emerge. I wish I could explain how or why it ultimately worked, but I'm just not sure.
*** Bug 273165 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I finally got boost-1.37.0 to build with gcc-4.4 by adding -fno-strict-aliasing to the CXXFLAGS.
(In reply to comment #29) > I finally got boost-1.37.0 to build with gcc-4.4 by adding -fno-strict-aliasing > to the CXXFLAGS. > Yahoo! It's work! Thanks!
I've added a -fno-strict-aliasing append when building with gcc 4.4 to reduce the effect of the build failure; somebody should apply the proper fixes though.
Does anyone have an idea what exactly goes wrong ? As repeated invocations of ebuild eventually sidestep the problem (yes, it may be build not quite correctly, but that's a different issue), the build failure is caused by something else. It's almost as if a buffer overrun in either bjam or portage was triggered by all those warnings.
not really, but it seems to be specific to Gentoo. i'm also wondering if it's the sheer number of strict-aliasing warnings causing portage to abort. has anyone tried with paludis (remember to remove -fno-strict-aliasing first).
Whatever the root cause, I just did a couple test builds and it looks like we can just pass -Wno-strict-aliasing and dodge the performance hit. Upstream has declared that these warnings are spurious (though others have disagreed), so they won't be fixed any time soon.
applied to 1.35.0-r5, 1.36.0-r1, and 1.37.0-r1.
I'd still say it would be nice to know whether it was portage or bjam, that couldn't handle so many warnings.
