Sorry, my mistake: Apple GCC has not been shipped since XCode 4.0, but is still provided by the R project and widely used.

From the compile errors it looks like the compiler can't cope with TR1 result_of protocol. If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't help it because this basically renders filters and formatters useless. Note that the compiler is listed as not supported in the test farm and the docs (not explicitly) for this reason.
I do not have access to this platform, so I cannot experiment with it. So the only way I can add support for this compiler is by applying a patch. Do you have one?

So this looks like similar problem with https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8639, which is understandable as GCC 4.2 is also quite old. Though I'd like to look into this, it will take time and given the complexity of the library it won't happen soon.

If you look at the test results, you'll notice that all the log tests have been marked "expected fail" on Mac OS X with gcc 4.2.1
