Finally got a chance to set up a machine. PowerPC Mac mini running 10.4.11; Xcode 2.5; bjam 3.1.16; Boost 1.36.0 (release). My user-config.jam looks like this:

import toolset : using ; using darwin ;
using python : 2.3 ;

cd libs/python/examples/quickstart ; bjam gives me a whole bunch of output, then darwin.link.dll bin/darwin-4.0.1/debug/extending.o , where it appears to hang, but if I wait, that command completes and the build continues and completes successfully.

How _exactly_ is this different from your setup?

Haven't heard from Konrad in three months; closing.

The problem is apparently solved in 1.37, which installs fine out of the box on my machine.
