 You may need a more recent version of boost-jam.
 Other than that, I have no idea what's going on.
 The build log refers to a libs/python/build/pythonlib
 target which I can't find any trace of in the
 source.  My best guess is that the old version of bjam
 is causing the wrong build files to be selected.
