intel-linux-8.0 produces weird errors

Hi,

I build a small library using Boost.Build v2 (as found in CVS-HEAD), and
until recently that worked just fine. Out of the sudden I get compiler
errors when building with icc version 8.0, though:

intel-linux.link.dll /path/to/bindir/intel-linux-8.0/debug/threading-multi/neoxx_sanity.so
/usr/bin/ld: -static and -shared may not be used together

"icpc" -o
"/path/to/bindir/intel-linux-8.0/debug/threading-multi/neoxx_sanity.so"
-Wl,-h -Wl,neoxx_sanity.so -shared
"/path/to/bindir/intel-linux-8.0/debug/threading-multi/syslogger.o"
-lpthread -lrt -g -pthread

...failed intel-linux.link.dll /path/to/bindir/intel-linux-8.0/debug/threading-multi/neoxx_sanity.so...

intel-linux.link.dll /usr/local/src/boost-current/bin.v2/libs/thread/build/intel-linux-8.0/debug/threading-multi/boost_thread-8.0-mt-d_1.32.0.so.1.32.0
/usr/bin/ld: -static and -shared may not be used together

The compiler is configured in a global /etc/site-config.jam file as
follows:

using intel-linux
: 8.0
:
: <cxxflags>"-D__interface=tmpinterface" ;

The define is required to work around a problem with glibc headers; I doubt
it causes this problem.

I don't see where the -static flag comes from. The command shown above (as
echoed by bjam) doesn't seem to include it.

Any ideas or pointers what is causing this?

Peter

P. S.: I also got problems with the statement

using python : 2.3 : /usr ;

in my /etc/site-config.jam out of the sudden. bjam spouted lots of warnings
when reading the site config and I had to remove the line altogether to
make it happy again. No idea why. Maybe that's related?
