I think "elf" makes more sense. If it's possible that would be a useful
addition for us.

Quite embarassingly I think we can chalk this one up to "User error" :)
When I changed the "using bfin: ..." line in my user-config.jam to the
below (i.e. using windows paths) I no longer get the message (I do get a
wonderful compiler crash, but that is due to using an non-mature
development compiler):

  using bfin : 8.0.7.1 : c:/analog/tools5.0_andromeda/ccblkfn ;

Thanks again for your help, Volodya
