I have built a version of bjam linked against boehm gc 7.0. When this 
version is run, it get tons of  complaints from the gc:

GC_debug_register_finalizer called with non-base-pointer 0x8168fe0
GC_debug_register_finalizer called with non-base-pointer 0x8161f78
GC_debug_register_finalizer called with non-base-pointer 0x8161f78
...

Maybe this rings a bell with someone on what might be wrong?
