The file does exist:

bjam
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/var/tmp/ma0/boost/boost_1_42_0/stage/lib/libboost_system.a'
error: referred from project at
error:     ''

Both 'ls' and 'file' show that file exists. As this was the first
thing I checked.

ls -l /var/tmp/ma0/boost/boost_1_42_0/stage/lib/libboost_system.a
-rw-r----- 1 ma0 ma 72008 2010-02-16 13:01

 Yes this works in 1.39 and 1.40 so I have assumed it must work in 1.42

There appears to be some kind of regression in 1.42 but I cant pin it down.
