Sorry for being a pain, but I just don't seem to be able to get this to
work!

I've used your gccmt.jam file (which seems a lot neater sensible way of
doing it), and did a cvs get and build of boost-build.

bjam -n toolset=gccmeta --debug-generator

boost-build/kernel\class.jam:92: in new
*** argument error
* rule object(gcc-archive-generator)@2.__init__ ( )
* called with: ( gccmt.archive : OBJ : STATIC_LIB : <toolset>gccmt : : :
: : )
* extra argument gccmt.archive
boost-build/tools\gcc.jam:123:see definition of rule '__init__' being called
boost-build/build\generators.jam:264: in

boost-build/build\toolset.jam:287: in inherit-generators
boost-build/build\toolset.jam:260: in toolset.inherit
boost-build/tools\gccmt.jam:8: in load
boost-build/kernel\modules.jam:259: in import
boost-build/build\toolset.jam:22: in using
boost-build\user-config.jam:19: in modules.load

boost-build/kernel\modules.jam:259: in import
boost-build/kernel/bootstrap.jam:120: in boost-build
boost-build.jam:1: in module scope

Seems to me that gcc-archive-generator __init__ should really take suitable
arguments (as do the other generators) to allow it to be cloned
appropiately, but then I'm well out of my depth here in bjam.
