If using bjam directly for building, cf.
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#or-build-custom-binaries

you could add then "-d+2" to bjam:

 CONF+=" -d+2" # Show commands as they are executed
 CONF+=" -q"   # Stop at first error
#CONF+=" --debug-configuration" # Diagnose configuration
#CONF+=" --debug-building" # Report which targets are built
                           # with what properties

(see bjam --help)
