I've looked at previous posts based on similar issues but cannot find anything useful. 

I have built boost (1.53.0) using a shared python (2.7) build i built myself. I tried both default boost build as well as ./b2 -j 9 link=static,shared threading=multi

However it still fails to build. 

config.log here: https://dpaste.de/dAIW

Input would be appreciated as I can only build in this way without a package manager. 

Also note that i had to change some lines in the configure to get it to this point already.

Namely -Wno-unused-local-typedefs and -std=gnu++0x

I'm using gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48) on RHEL 5.5
