This is interesting, and in fact -- it's nice that this change
caught his behaviour. Can you go to the 'status' directory,
run:

        bjam --debug-building msvc/toolset-msvc:version=9.0~wm5~stlport5.2/stdlib=stlport-5.2~evc9~arm

and, if that reproduces the problem, send me the complete output by direct mail?

Thanks,
