I would suggest that the easiest approach would be to create a support 
module for your compiler. It's easier than you think:

1. Copy vacpp.jam to whateveryourlike.jam. 
2. In that file, replace 'acc' with 'whateveryoulike'.
3. Look at all 'flag' lines. If the option being set is wrong, make it
right or comment out the line.
4. Look at 'action' blocks, remove hardcoded options.

That's it. The result won't be ideal (since vacpp.jam is the simplest
toolset, not the best), but it should work.
