Boost.Threads, the Boost.Build system and GCC

I've been trying to get the jamfiles included in the latest 
Boost.Threads upload to work with GCC (mingw32), the other compiler 
at my disposal.  Unfortunately, things don't work with 
<boost/stdint.h>.  This include results in the following compilation 
error:

gcc-C++-action ..\src\bin\gcc\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\condition.obj
In file included from ..\src\..\boost\thread\xtime.hpp:21,
                 from ..\src\condition.cpp:19:
c:\boost\boost\stdint.h:73: parse error
c:\boost\boost\stdint.h:81: #error defaults not correct; you must 
hand modify bo
ost/stdint.h

Looking through the archives here there's a mention that -ansi -
pedantic options should correct this.  So the first question is how 
do you add flags such as this to the commands in the Jamfiles?  I 
modified gcc-tools.jam changing actions gcc-C++-action, which works 
but is obviously not the "correct" way to do something like this.

In any event, even after this change I still receive the same error 
message so I'm at a loss on how to get <boost/stdint.h> to work with 
gcc.

Help?
