The ld(1) (clang) that ships with Mac OS X 10.10.1 doesn't understand the -l:libfoo.a syntax that it used to link libboost_unit_test_framework.a:

/bin/sh ../../../libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -g -O2 -std=c++11 -L/usr/local/lib  -o processor_test processor/ProcessorTest.o processor/EventLog.o processor/ServerThread.o libprocessortest.la ../../../lib/cpp/libthrift.la ../../../lib/cpp/libthriftnb.la -L/usr/local/lib -levent -l:libboost_unit_test_framework.a -lssl -lcrypto -lpthread
