I have to confess I did not try before writing - this approach works
fine using 1.36! I remember having had that sort of troubles building
1.34 or 1.35. But probably it was using bb.v1 and specifying
GCC_PREFIX... so please accept my apology for mixing things up!

Two prominent examples:

1. building iostreams requires BZIP2_SOURCE and the like to be defined.
That was done in v1 using -sBZIP2_SOURCE=... is that still valid?

2. I want to build static debug serialization library using shared
runtime libraries. If I type

bjam --variant=debug --link=static --runtime-link=shared
--with-serialization stage

I end up with the requested .a but also with .so files. Why?

Thank you for your help!
