However, that way, 'stage' doesn't work when starting bjam at [foo] 
directory, does it? 

I think I should explain the background. 

The reason I would like to start bjam at [foo] directory is basically 
just for convenience. My editor(emacs) is configured to invoke 'bjam' at 
the location of the current opened file(foo.cpp) whenever I type C-cC-c
(compile command). 

Also, I want to copy every module to the same directory because, for 
example, foo.exe dynamically loads foo.dll from the same directory.

It worked! Thank you very much.
