[boost] regression - failed tests for date_time and regex in vc7.1 toolkit

I've noticed that regression test I'm running are failing on almost all 
tests in date_time and many tests in regex. Here's what I've found: bjam 
is building static library:
   libboost_date_time-71-mt-gd-1_32.lib

Please note that there's no "vc71", but "71" instead. File:
   libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib

is not build, thus all tests linking to this file are failing. When I 
copy libboost_date_time-71-mt-gd-1_32.lib into 
libboost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib , date_time tests are no longer 
failing. The same applies to dynamic library: what is actually being 
build is named:
   boost_date_time-71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_date_time-71-mt-gd-1_32.dll

but for tests to succeed there should be:
   boost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_date_time-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.dll

What's even more interesting, library files "71" are actually being 
used, too (besides "vc71" files). I've found that "cmd" files are 
referring to "71" files. I do not know what is referring to "vc71" files 
(maybe autolink feature?)

The same problem plagued regression tests for regex library - libraries 
build by bjam are named :
   libboost_regex-71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_regex-71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_regex-71-mt-gd-1_32.dll

while tests require also files named :
   libboost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.lib
   boost_regex-vc71-mt-gd-1_32.dll

Any ideas what might be wrong?
