You can add any number of build requests to the BUILD variable 
separating them with spaces: "-sBUILD=debug release". If you are 
building at the boost root that Jamfile sets the build request to:

"-sBUILD=debug release <runtime-link>static/dynamic 
<threading>single/multi"

And if you specify the "--with-pydebug" it also adds "debug-python".

There is an alternate way to add compiler flags that might be more 
useful for you here. The gcc toolset supports setting the compiler 
command to a command plus any number of options. For example you could do:

bjam -a "-sTOOLS=gcc" "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/gcc_3.4" 
"-sGXX=g++ -Wl,-rppath,/usr/local/gcc_3.4/lib"
