It has nothing to do with my software.  Your command-line used "gcc,"
which AFAIK will not do C++ compilation unless you use the variant
called "g++"

It's not strictly a boost-only list, but few people here are doing this
kind of thing with distutils.  I suggest you find a distutils-related
list if you want to ask where people know the answers.
