Can you elaborate? I don't see anything in sun.jam to that effect.

I'm afraid I don't know what's "Turbo C++", and if I understand discussion
on boost-devel correctly, you did not know that Turbo C++ exists until
recently as well. So, I have no idea what's "regular Turbo C++ installation"
is -- I think we might have to ask Borland experts.

Ok, nothing suspicious there.

Can you:

1. Try building the tools/build/v2/example/hello with borland,
and see if same error appears.

2. If so, try to build it with all permutations of

        link=static/link=shared
        runtime-link=static/runtime-link=shared
        threading=single/threading=multi

3. If 'hello' does not fail, try building your target with
the same permutations.

4. Try building an .cpp files containing just empty
main by hand.

Again, I don't know. Maybe borland experts will be able to help.
