I've just tried the following Jamfile with current CVS:

lib mylib : : <name>myfile <search>somewhere <variant>debug ;
lib mylib : : <name>myfile <search>elsewhere <variant>release ;

exe a : a.cpp mylib ;

and it works as expected:

gcc.link bin/gcc/debug/a

"g++" -L"somewhere" -o "bin/gcc/debug/a" "bin/gcc/debug/a.o" 
-lmyfile -g

I suggest you get a CVS version of Boost.Build, or a nightly build (see 
http://boost.org/boost-build2)

HTH,
Volodya
