[Boost-build] Problem in compilation on RHEL 5

I am trying to build boost 1.3.2 on RHEL 5.

In fact I had successfully compiled the same earlier.

Recently when I was trying to build the same boost library again in a
new location which I had build successfully earlier and I encountered
some weird problem. During compilation it threw up some errors like

mkdir: cannot create directory
`../../boost/builddir/bin/boost/libs/test/build/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so/gcc':
File exists

    mkdir "../../boost/builddir/bin/boost/libs/test/build/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so/gcc"

Compilation log had several these sort of errors.

I don't understand why I am encountering these problem during
compilation when the same code base was getting compiled earlier.

Any help in resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.

-Thanks,
Hemanta.
