It's weird, but I can't attach the debugger to the bjam process: the
gdb hangs itself.

boost_1_40_0> ./bjam --show-libraries

mike_at_linux-4b3g:~> ps -fu mike | grep bjam
mike      4052  3845  0 19:11 pts/3    00:00:00 ./bjam --show-libraries

Attaching to process 4052

This is it. No more output is produced. Starting bjam from the gdb
didn't help either:

(gdb) file bjam
Reading symbols from
/home/mike/blackray/blackray-thirdparty-0.9.0/unpacked/boost_1_40_0/bjam...(no
debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) set args "--show-libraries"
(gdb) run
Starting program:
/home/mike/blackray/blackray-thirdparty-0.9.0/unpacked/boost_1_40_0/bjam
"--show-libraries"
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)

On the other hand I am not sure that it's a problem with the
boost.1.40 I tried 1.39.0 version and got the same result.

Thanks,
Mike
