To fix the boost build, bapt suggested to me on IRC a while back to add 'FAVORITE_COMPILER=gcc' to my make.conf, so that it always prefers gcc. I've been working on ppc32 PIC for the last week or so when I have time, and hope to have it done in the next couple weeks at which point this hack should be moot for us. - Justin
