Sorry, if it is a duplicate posting (I seem to have problems posting to the
list through gmane)

Here is what I am getting with RC_1_31_0 and borland toolset:

borland-Archive-action actions too long (max 2047):

---------------------------------------------------------

I've tried to modify Borland toolset and Boost.Build to be able to
produce the .cmd files required by TLIB (borland linker), which needs

+<file 1> +<file 2> ... +<file n>

on the same line or

+<file 1> &
+<file 2> &
...
+<file n-1> &
+<file n>

and failed :-(.

I would appreciate any help on the topic.
