[Boost-build] unable to build most Boost libraries

Hi

I've been trying to build the Boost uBLAS library.
However in my build only a fraction of the Boost libraries get built and uBLAS isn't one of them.
The build doesn't appear to attempt to build the other Boost libraries.

I'm using MS Visual C++ 6.0 as compiler.
Machine’s OS is Windows NT 2002 SP2.
Here is what I do.
I'm using a DOS command prompt window in which to do the build.
I run VCVARS32.BAT to set the environmental variables (as per Boost's build instructions).
I run the build command
bjam "-sTOOLS=msvc" -sBUILD="debug release <runtime-link>static/dynamic <threading>single/multi"
--builddir=c:\BoostBuild31
It builds the following libraries only (in c:\BoostBuild31) - datetime, filesystem, regex,
signals, test, thread.
The build doesn't appear to attempt to build the other Boost libraries.

The bjam.exe version is Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.14. OS=NT.

I've tried this different versions of the Boost download all with similar results
boost-1.30.2
boost_1_31_0
boost_1_32_0
boost_1_33_1

I've tried adding 'install' and 'stage' to the end of the build command, though I'm not really
sure what they do. 
I've tried repeating the process from a cygwin command prompt.
I’ve tried adding --with-uBLAS to the build command.

I'd be most grateful for any help. 

regards

It's about the oil, stupid!
