Hi Thorsten,
please direct all Boost.Build questions to the boost-build_at_[hidden]
mailing list, where you'll get help from more persons and where
any answers will benefit new users.

I CC the list, please reply to the list.

Well, is this a *complete* error message? I'm pretty
sure it is not, and the part you've trimmed out
contains important information -- how the conflicting
targets differ in properties.

Because msvc-8.0 cannot create single-threaded code. The problem you
see can be possibly related to this, but I need full output to be sure.
So, please run again and send me the full output. Also, add the
--debug-building option to bjam invocation -- this will provide some extra
information.
