According to the Jamroot file if i'm to exclude some libraries from
building Boost I should use --without-<library> when invoking bjam.
However it looks like I'm doing something wrong as it seems that the
libraries I asked bjam to skip are being built. Below is what I
understood I should use if I wanted to exclude the Boost.Thread library:

 

smclemo_at_edin-angus /usr/src/boost_1_39_0

$ bjam link=static toolset=bfin target-os=elf --without-thread
threading=single runtime-link=static stage

 

And below is a snippet from my build output indicating that we've
attempted to build Boost.Thread:

 

...failed bfin.compile.c++
bin.v2\libs\thread\build\bfin-8.0.7.1\release\link-static\runtime-link-s

     ^

 

1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of

I'm guessing that I'm not using the correct switch, perhaps
--without-Thread or --without-threads or something else is correct?
