[Boost-build] problem linking with thread library

I am sure it's something very simple, but I can't figure it out.

What I need to to link my unit test with thread library. I looked how other 
Jamfiles are doing it and tried to reproduce it. It failed. After an hour of 
jumping with tambourine around my Jamfile, I've tried thread library own 
example. Same story. Here is an error:

bjam --preserve-test-targets -d +2 toolset=msvc-8.0
warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader.
note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the
note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively.
warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.
note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam.
note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).
