At the moment I'm going for John's suggestion : compile the tools with gcc and 
then proceed with aCC.

I had my own script to do all the work but I figured I might as well 
use/contribute to the script in tools/regression/run_tests.sh. One question 
though, the line :

cd $BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/jam_src && \
make CC=gcc YACC="" LOCATE_TARGET=bin

is giving me trouble due to the LOCATE_TARGET. This apparantly makes that the 
sources are searched for in the bin subdir ?! Should'nt it be removed ?
