Please run tests as:

    python test_all.py gcc-3.4.5

so that test system knows that name of toolset to expect.

The idea is that tests should test working dir state, so that if you break
bjam you know about it. If you independently work on some Boost.Build
changes and Boost.Jam changes and don't want test results to fix up, I
think it's possible to make two separate checkouts of the 'v2' directory.
Would that work for you?
