Hi,

I'm surprised no one stated a comment on this issue so far 'cause the 
used compiler belongs to Boost's additional test compilers. I post this 
again 'cause it's not listed in the gmane searchable archives.

# Jamfile
obj res : ABQPP.rc ;

built with bjam -q -d2 toolset=intel res gave me:

Error: ambiguity found when searching for best transformation
Trying to produce type 'OBJ' from:

  -  { ABQPP.rc.RC }
Generators that succeeded:
  -  rc.compile.resource
  -  intel-win.compile.rc
First generator produced:
  -  { rc%rc.compile.resource-res_res.obj.OBJ { ABQPP.rc.RC } }
Second generator produced:

  -  { intel-win%intel-win.compile.rc-res_res.obj.OBJ { ABQPP.rc.RC } }

I also tried
obj res : ABQPP.rc : : <toolset>msvc : ;
to set the default build option but it didn't work too and resulted in 
the same error message.

Used tools:
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12)
Boost.Jam 03.1.16
WIndows XP
MS Visual Studio 2005
Intel C++ 10.1.025

Any hints how to solve this issue?

Many thanks,
Jan.
