I cannot get solidity installed with homebrew on macOS Sierra. Installation hangs at boost

I have tried to install solidity on my Mac with 

brew update
brew upgrade
brew tap ethereum/ethereum
brew install solidity

brew linkapps solidity

as suggested at solidity#binary-packages. But when I try to brew install solidity the installation process gets stuck right here when installing boost:

    bash-3.2$ brew install solidity

I did find this brew hanging thread and tried to fix everything brew doctor gave me and I have the latest command line tools installed. I could not get it to work yet. Any ideas?

JK! Wow. I guess one of the manny things I tried must have worked. Now it still takes a very very long time but eventually it came to:

🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.64.0_1: 12,630 files, 404.4MB, built in 17 minutes 38 seconds

17minutes. Wow.
