Thanks very much for the tip!

I've done exactly what you told me to do, and I attached the result. 
These lines seem important:

     ###
     ### Using 'gcc' toolset.
     ###
     rm -rf bootstrap
     mkdir bootstrap
     gcc -o bootstrap/jam0 command.c compile.c [...]
     ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= clean
     XXX
     XXX bin.linuxx86_64
     XXX :bin.linuxx86_64
     ...found 1 target...
     ...updating 1 target...
     ...updated 1 target...
     ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root=
     XXX
     XXX bin.linuxx86_64
     XXX :bin.linuxx86_64
     ...found 47 targets...
     ...updating 2 targets...
     [MKDIR] :bin.linuxx86_64
     [COMPILE] :bin.linuxx86_64/bjam
     [...]

But I still cannot figure out what's going on... This line seems to be 
the trouble maker:

     locate-target ?= bin$(.)$(OS:L)$(OSPLAT:L) ;
