 That does the trick.

 Running bootstrap.bat is a no-go - my MSYS shell spits tons of errors
 about not understanding the commands within.

 bootstrap.sh doesn't do better - it fails with ''ar.h: No such file or
 directory compilation terminated''

 So the "solution" would be to bypass bootstrap.* completely, go with
 {{{
 bjam toolset=gcc
 }}}
 (build ''bjam'' separately, no issues here), until you hit the error
 above, and use the quick-fix suggested by ''nop@''.

 Works like a charm.
