try bjam -d+2 to see what build commands are getting executed.  You
should see some lines beginning with "MkDir1" followed by some lines
which are the commands used by the build system to create the
directories.  If cray's OS is "special", we may need a section in
tools/build/allyourbase.jam which defines the right variables so that
it executes appropriate build commands.
