There's no solution in Boost.Build that I'm aware of.  Here's what we  
did to bring up support for the Rational Tools.  We created a feature  
in builtin.jam called instrument with appropriate values.

feature instrument : none purify quantify valgrind cachegrind  
zerofault : propagated ;

and in gcc.jam, for example, we update the CONFIG_COMMAND variable  
when we see the instrument we're after.

flags gcc.link CONFIG_COMMAND <instrument>purify/<runtime-link>shared
   : purify $(CONFIG_COMMAND) -always-use-cache-dir -cache-dir=$ 
(builddir) ;
flags gcc.link CONFIG_COMMAND <instrument>quantify/<runtime-link>shared
   : quantify $(CONFIG_COMMAND) -always-use-cache-dir -cache-dir=$ 
(builddir) ;

flags $(toolset).link START-GROUP $(condition)/<instrument>none : - 
Wl,--start-group : unchecked ;
flags $(toolset).link END-GROUP $(condition)/<instrument>none : -Wl,-- 
end-group : unchecked ;

Hope that helps.
