Boost-Build :

This is a strange one:

if I cd into boost-root/status and do a:

bjam msvc

then everything is fine, but:

bjam borland-5.8.2 fails with:

**** spirit 1.6x required to build library with this compiler ****

c:\data\boost\boost\trunk\boost-build.jam:11: in module scope

This came to me because the the failure points to a Boost.Config Jamfile,
but if I cd into that directory then it builds just fine with the borland
toolset!

I suspect this may be Boost.Serialization related given that that is the
only library to reference libs/config/test/all/Jamfile.v2, but I'm
completely stumped at this point.

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks, John.
