I've done this using MSYS with the GCC 4.1.1 compiler.  From inside an
MSYS terminal:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-bjam=/usr/local/bin/bjam.exe \
              --with-toolset=gcc --without-libraries=python

make
make install

This worked for 1.34.0.  I haven't yet done this for 1.35.  This may not
match your situation, but it's a data point.
