I did take a look at the jam file I edited and saw that it didn't like the way I had commented 
out "nonusedexpr", so I fixed that and then it could actually compile but ran into many 
redefines and illegal function overloading. For example, the very first file, 
greg_month.cpp in the date and time lib:

Do you have any idea what's wrong?
