metrowerks toolset question

On my Win 2K system, the signals library build (kicked off by 
boost-root/Jamfile) is getting compile fails:

metrowerks-C++-action 
libs\signals\build\bin\boost_signals.dll\metrowerks\release\runtime-link-dynamic\slot.obj
### mwcc Compiler:
# File: libs\signals\src\slot.cpp
# ----------------------------------
# 16: #include <boost/signals/slot.hpp>
# Error: ^
# the file 'slot.hpp' cannot be opened
...

mwcc -maxerrors 5 -maxwarnings 20 -c -warn on,nounusedexpr,nounused 
-cwd include -DNDEBUG -DNOMINMAX -nowraplines -lang c++ -opt full -inline 
auto -inline level=8 -prefix UseDLLPrefix.h -I"libs\signals\build" 
-I"C:\boost\site" -I- -o 
"libs\signals\build\bin\boost_signals.dll\metrowerks\release\runtime-link-dynamic\slot.obj" 
"libs\signals\build\../src\slot.cpp"

What is really odd is that the non-signals compiles (regex, etc) give the 
last two -I switches in the opposite order:

-I- -I"C:\boost\site"

The C++-action in metrowerks-tools gives the I switches like this:

... -I"$(HDRS)" -I- -I"$(STDHDRS)" ...

What is happening? Can someone suggest a fix?
