Hi,

We have been building boost (up to 1.34.1) for Debian/linux using

        $(JAM) variant=release,debug threading=single,multi

where $(JAM) is the path to bjam (built from the boost sources)
together with the options -d2, --user-config and -sHAVE_ICU=1.

The user config file contains:

  using gcc : 4.2 : g++-4.2 : <define>_REENTRANT ;
  using python : 2.4 : /usr ;
  using python : 2.5 : /usr ;

This always resulted in four static libraries and four 
shared libraries for, say, the date-time library.

With 1.35, however, I get the four shared libs but only one
static lib:

  steve_at_riemann{boost_1_35_0}grep 'gcc.link.dll.*date' ../boost_1.35.0-1_i386.build 
  gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.2/release/libboost_date_time-gcc42-1_35.so.1.35.0
  gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.2/release/threading-multi/libboost_date_time-gcc42-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0
  gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.2/debug/libboost_date_time-gcc42-d-1_35.so.1.35.0
  gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.2/debug/threading-multi/libboost_date_time-gcc42-mt-d-1_35.so.1.35.0

  steve_at_riemann{boost_1_35_0}grep 'gcc.archive.*date' ../boost_1.35.0-1_i386.build 
  gcc.archive ../../../bin.v2/libs/date_time/build/gcc-4.2/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_date_time-gcc42-mt-1_35.a

How do I get all 8 library builds back?

I have read a couple of posts about --build-type=complete, so I tried adding that to $(JAM),
but this gives a completely inpenetrable error:

make: *** [build-stamp] Error 1

What does this mean: did I invoke bjam incorrectly or is some jam file broken?

Thanks,
