Comment:

 Regarding (2), I believe that this used to work. If it's broken, it's
 probably to try to support uses that set flags for specific versions of
 gcc, which need the real gcc version number rather than some arbitrary
 identifier. I'll look into this.

 P.S. The correct component for Boost.Build is "build". "Building Boost"
 is for issues when building the Boost C++ libraries. It's often
 ambiguous, though and if you use the wrong component it doesn't matter
 much, since the same people are responsible for both, and we can reassign
 it if needed.
