[Boost-build] intel-linux toolset <compileflags> <cxxflags>-fPIC

Hello I'm trying to create a static lib made of object files which are
compiled with -fPIC

I'm trying this:

lib mylib : source.cc
          : <cxxflags>-fPIC

when I invoke

'bjam -d2 intel link=static'

it does not add the compiler option I've requested at requirements

it seems to be a problem related to intel toolset because if I invoke

'bjam -d2 gcc link=static'

then -fPIC is used as requested.

Another problem is related to <compileflags>, for both gcc and intel

lib mylib : source.cc
          : <compileflags>-fPIC
         ;

complains:
