[Boost-build] [build].[v2].[bjam] Build issue on IA64

Hi,
 I am trying to build bjam on Windows Server 2003 for Itanium (64-bit). The
process stops after building jam0.exe, since it can't find any targets
for the particular platform and toolset.
 F:\boost-build\jam_src>.\build.bat vc8

 F:\boost-build\jam_src>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=vc8
"--toolset-root= "

 However, after executing the following at the prompt
 F:\boost-build\jam_src>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=vc8
"--toolset-root= " --show-locate-target --without-python
  "bin.nt"  is set as the locate-target whereas it should have been
"bin.ntia64"

 After making some changes to jam.h (adding flag _M_IA64_ for IA64 )
locate-target was correctly set to "bin.ntia64". However the build
process still couldn't find any targets.

 F:\boost-build\jam_src>.\bootstrap\jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=vc8
"--toolset-root= " --show-locate-target --without-python
 "bin.ntia64"

 Details:
   OS: Windows Server 2003 SP1 for Itanium 2.
   Compiler: VC 8.0
