Boost1.46 builds with gcc4.6:

https://launchpad.net/~kitterman/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/2499742
https://launchpad.net/~kitterman/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/2499743

I built the entire package with Universe, so it will still have to be split 
for the archive, but there don't appear to be gcc4.6 related problems.
