Well no, I have replaced all instances of gcc in gccmt.jam with gccmt - I 
figured the line :

feature.extend toolset : gccmt ;

declared the toolset, and in my user-config.jam I have the lines :

using msvc : 7.1 : "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003/vc7" ;
using msvc : 6.5 : "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/vc98" ;
using gccmt : : C:/img/usr/mt/2.1.3b5/bin ;

I couldn't see anywhere else (except in test code) where gcc was defined

I didn't want to hack gcc.jam to work with my toolset, because it is quite 
likely that i will want to get boost build working with the native gcc 
toolset too.

See above :-)

Of course :

It seems to be struggling at the .c to .o phase, could that be due to an 
ambiguity?
