Do you really want the python library to be built (you're not using 
"--with-python"), or are you simply concerned over the warnings?

If the former, add "--with-python" to your bjam invocation and read up 
under: 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/python/doc/building.html#configuring-boost-build

If the latter, ignore the warnings. IIRC similar warnings (regarding 
libraries not actually being built in the current build request) should have 
been fixed in later Boost versions - which version of Boost are you using?
