I don't know what exactly is failing but it looks like bjam cannot 
configure the build for some reason (please note the "rule compile-fail 
unknown in module" error in the output). I don't see any attempts to 
build or run any tests whatsoever.

Anyway, I am having precisely the same problem on another platform (MSVC 
2008, Windows Vista).
