Does Boost.Build really accept the above? Try removing the duplicate
"requirements":

project Common
  : requirements
    <include>./
    <include>../dependencies/gmsrc_ex/src/gm
    <include>../dependencies/gmsrc_ex/src/binds
    <include>../dependencies/gmsrc_ex/src/3rdParty/mathlib
    <include>../dependencies/gmsrc_ex/src/3rdParty/gmbinder2

        [...]

    <include>../dependencies/sqlite3
     ;

If that doesn't help, try invoking bjam with the "-d+2" option to see the 
actual commands invoked.
