Well, yeah:

./jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=gcc
^ ^ ^

What you did tries to build the targets named "sBOOST_ROOT=." and
"sTOOL=gcc".

But since I can't reproduce your problem, I'd like very much to have that
output from adding the -d+5 option right after ./jam in your erroneous
invocation above, and additionally the stack backtrace I asked for. Jam
should /NOT/ be crashing.
