Bashism in boost/boost/tools/build/v2/tools/common.jam and a strange Solaris/gcc problem

Hi

I am trying to compile my project on Sun Solaris 2.8 with gcc
3.2. First in 32bit, then in 64bit (its for scientific
computations, so we need _a lot_ of memory).

Well, I have the project building on Debian GNU/Linux and now
tried the stuff on Solaris. I seem to be facing two major
problems, one is solved:

1) (the one I solved myself)

----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----

exit $status

----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----

This is due to a bashism in common.jam: the normal 'sh' shell
does not allow 'export VAR=value' but only 'VAR=value;export
VAR' instead. The patch against 1.24 is attached (I also
removed some trailing white space, there is more 4 lines down
but I did not correct it).

2) (this one is more misterious)

----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----

Trying to find out what went wrong I took the g++ command
from above, pasted it to the command line and added the '-v'
switch right after 'g++' to see what went wrong. This gives
again the same error message and some debugging output:

----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----

However, copy-pasting the collect2 command to the command
line and executing it gives the following output:

----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----8<----
GNU ld version 2.11.2 (with BFD 2.11.2)
Supported emulations:

and NO error message (and a successfully linked binary).

Any hints?

Thanks in advance.
