No problem.

I take it that this is with the old version of monotone?  Strange...
it looks like a problem either in some sort of weird boost/gcc
interaction (perhaps a new gcc would in fact help), or else some sort
of very unusual exception is being thrown that we're not catching...
but that seems unlikely, and I can't tell from here anyway.

Perhaps you need to install "autopoint"?  It's some sort of problem
with autoconf/automake, I'm afraid, and I know as little about them as
I can possibly get away with :-), so I can't help much.

Sorry not to be of much assistance.  Good luck...
