AFAIK: one problem could be that 1.34.1 already is released and there 
currently is no clean policy of how to provide bug fixes to the release.
So you currently need to apply this patch locally to your copy of 
boost.build.

This is a different problem.
The patch you have sent for gcc.jam of course needs to go into the 
sources of boost.build.

Setting the default for your platform goes like so:
If you did not already have found out:
Create a copy of the user-config.jam file into your home directory.
Edit this to your needs. Boost.Build will pick it up from there.

You can check this, if you are invoking bjam from your project dircetory as:

bjam --debug-configuration

It will show you from where your user-config.jam is being picked up.

This would be another possibility if you want the configuration for all 
users.

Please tell me if the above procedure worked.
