And:
1. How a toolset can get in this state? After
configure gcc : all ;
?

2. What can I do with toolset in that state? Can I request such toolset on
command line? Say:

bjam toolset=gcc-4.20

3. I'd expect toolset.using to be called for all invocations of "configure".
Do you mean "configure with explicit version"?

Can you send them all now? I'll still review and commit them one-by-one but ti 
will help me to see the next step.
