This compiler error is not for boost but for the boost build system. The first thing that boost does upon configuring is build it's internal build system, and internal version of bjam. This binary is not installed after boost is built and is in fact discarded. It must be built with the default system compiler.

It is possible to patch the build system to use ${configure.cc}, but there isn't really a point since it this is such a small compile job (bjam that is; compiling boost proper is huge).

Really, it isn't worth the effort to patch this since it only affects the build system.
