I'm also testing on another machine, same gcc version(4.8.1), boost version (1.53.0), compiling fine.
the only difference is the fail one using glib-2.18, while the compiling pass one use glibc-2.17.
so I'm not sure it's a problem relate to glibc..

if you need additional information, let me know...

Gentoo is not one of our supported platforms, so we have not done any builds in that environment. The closest we have is fedora19 which has the following versions:

boost 1.53
    glibc 2.17
    gcc+c++ 4.8.1

Which supports glib-2.18 being the problem package as you noted. As I get a chance, I'll try doing a fedora19 build with the newer glibc. We'll probably see this issue when fedora20 releases.

it's a bug related to boost when glibc upgrade to version 2.18

see upstream report here
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8731

and the fix for boost
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/84950

I just got FTBFS on versions 0.72.2 and 0.77 in Debian unstable (with boost-1.54):

common/cmdparse.cc:179:21:   required from here 
/usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:1557:17: error: call of overloaded 'initialize(void*, const long long int&)' is ambiguous 

Perhaps bug severity should be raised. Please prioritise.

It looks like the issue was due to temporary regression in glib(c)-2.18. It was fixed in one of the updates so now Ceph builds perfectly in Debian "unstable".
