Log output when compilling with clang

[Steven Watanabe]

The constructor you're trying to use is deprecated and has been disabled by default. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/libs/iostreams/doc/classes/file_descriptor.html#file_descriptor_sink.

Whoops. It looks like the wrong constructor was marked as deprecated in the docs. I'll fix that.

[Steven Watanabe]

To enable this constructor compile with -DBOOST_IOSTREAMS_USE_DEPRECATED.
