I am receiving the following on a Solaris system when using:

jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=gcc

status/Jamfile:53: in failed-test-file
warning: unknown rule FAIL_EXPECTED
status/Jamfile:100: in fail-to-build
./tools/build/boost-base.jam:1407: in subvariant-target
./tools/build/boost-base.jam:1448: in main-target
./tools/build/boost-base.jam:1065: in declare-local-target
status/Jamfile:35: in boost-test
status/Jamfile:119: in compile-fail
status/Jamfile:368: in SubInclude
./tools/build/allyourbase.jam:1141: in subinclude
Jamfile:5: in module scope

{...above repeated many times...}

Unable to load Boost.Build, it seems that the build system files were
located, but the build system is not defined. Attempted to use, as
the bootstrap, this file: ./tools/build/boost-build.jam. This means
that even though that file was loaded it either failed to directly
load the build system files, or it failed to specify where to find
and load the files by calling the 'build-system [path] ;' rule.
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
