One build failure with the new version was just a missing dependency. All 
other problems I have seen are caused only by gcc.

As far as I understand everything, up to now we are able to build with 
every version of boost (thanks to Dmitrijs for porting the Ubuntu patch).

But the reason for this bug has been problems with gcc-4.8. This problem 
still exists, at least on my VM I could not build the package with gcc and 
eglibc from experimental.

The failure with sbuild/pdebuild or whatever seems to be another bug not 
related to this one.
