Debian 3.0/x86 here.

Same problem here, using both 1.30.0 and 1.30.2.

I have found a workaroud, it consists of deactiating two lines in 
gcc-tools.jam:
flags gcc GXX : $(GXX) ;
flags gcc GCC : $(GCC) ;

When these two are commented, the build uses the explicitly given compiler.

I also 'fixed' a totally different related problem, that boost is totally 
ignorant of the compiler-version as far as gcc is concerned. In order to 
build different versions for different GCCs, I simply copied gcc-tools.jam to 
gcc-3.2-tools.jam.

Hmm, maybe these things are only tangentially on-topic here, since there is a 
jamboost-mailinglist. However, I remember trying to subscribe to it, but was 
kept off by
- - the sheer amount of personal information yahoo wants to collect
- - the fact that their crappy webinterface requires java for some parts
I can imagine that being asked defore, but isn't there a way to either loosen 
these restrictions or move to a sane provider for MLs ? 

cheers

P.S. What I just found out to work is accessing that list via the gmane nntp 
access (haven't tested posting yet though).
