I looked into boost. It has serious issues compiling with even gcc 4.3.
These are the upstream bugs about it:
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&summary=~4.3&order=priority
There is a patch in the debian sources to work with gcc 4.3, but the
debian/Notes file indicates it is incomplete. And of course, 4.3 is not
4.4.
But let's say boost did compile perfectly with 4.4. The changes you'd
have to make: You'd have to change the Build-Depends, the rules file,
and and all the installed libraries have 'gcc42' in their name, so you'd
have to adjust all the .install files.
