   It seems to be getting it either from the <cflags> or the <cxxflags> 
property depending on whether you're using a C or C++ compiler.

   Darwin seems to inherit flag settings from the gcc toolset which has 
the following flag definitions:

> toolset.flags gcc.compile USER_OPTIONS <cflags> ;
> toolset.flags gcc.compile.c++ USER_OPTIONS <cxxflags> ;

   Perhaps that can give you a clue. Also, you can run bjam with the 
--debug-building option to see the exact property set used for building 
each target.

   If you can not find this in the Boost source tree perhaps it is 
getting read from some environment variable. Try looking them over.

   Hope this helps.
