Victor,

I added the lines and the output is:
C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>build.bat vc7
###
### Using '' toolset.
### BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=''
### BOOST_JAM_CC=''
### BOOST_JAM_OPT_JAM=''
### BOOST_JAM_OPT_MKJAMBASE=''
### BOOST_JAM_OPT_YYACC=''
### _known_='__'
###

At this point I decided to hardcode these vaules. Using the output from
your modified build.bat, and making the appropriate changes, I was able to
build bjam.

I realize this doesn't fix the problem, but it got the job done.

Thanks,
Bart
