   Glad to hear the solution was good enough... :-)

   Don't really see what you mean by *.pyd files since I do not see that 
extension mentioned in the Jamfile you quoted. Perhaps if you sent a 
minimal example Jamfile reproducing the problem...

   You can use the --debug-building option so see the exact properties 
each target gets built with... and then compare them for your *.py & 
*.pyd targets... possibly that will give you a clue about what is going on.

   Best regards,
