Let me clarify this.  Sorry if I mispoke.

I ran bjam and observed:
gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/regex/build/gcc-4.1.1/release/libboost_regex.so
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.so when searching for -lm
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.a when searching for -lm
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc

This tells me something is doing -L/usr/lib, and it shouldn't be doing that.

So, I searched around (blindly) to see where it was coming from.  I think I
mis-identified gcc-shared.mak as the culprit.  Point is, there IS a problem
somewhere.
