Is bjam build v1 and "something else" is build v2?  Which one should I use?

I'm going to attempt to build bjam from scratch every time if I can (and/or 
ship a bjam executable for all platforms with my source).  How feasible is 
this approach?  Does it typically build in less then 2 minutes...or how 
long does it take?  (I'm looking for a basic time estimate.)

(It sure would be nice if Boost simply built from gnu-make 3.80 or above 
like much of the rest of the world does now.  Can I read a faq somewhere 
bout why it doesn't?)
