It cannot, directly, as bjam can only receive a list of string. Attached
is a complete example that bypasses that. When I run bjam, I get this
output:

        ghost_at_wind:~/Work/Boost/boost-svn/tools/build/v2/example/hello$ ~/Work/Boost/boost-svn/tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86/bjam
        Architecture is 32bit

Can you try this approach?

Thanks,
