Please take your question to the Boost.Build list:
http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#jamboost

You may be able to get away with injecting compiler/linker options
into the gcc toolset's command-line using <cxxflags>whatever and
<linkflags>whatever in your BUILD variable. If that isn't going to
work, you may need to write a new toolset. We'll need more
information before we can really tell. Please come over to Jamboost.
