tools/jam/src/build.jam only affects building bjam itself. You
seem to have it already built, so at this point, what's written in
that file does not matters.

If you need to pass extra option to a compiler, you can do
it in user-config.jam. Please see the "builtin tools" section
in boost.build docs (http://boost.org/boost-build2)
