You just need to use "toolset=gcc" (no double dashes), or even using just 
"gcc" will work on the command-line. Won't make any difference to the 
results though.

I just used the code verbatim from your post (with a dummy main.cxx).

I'm using Boost.Jam/Boost.Build from SVN (trunk version). Try updating, even 
though it seems unlikely that this is the problem - tagging has been 
available for a long time.

If that doesn't work I guess I'm out of suggestions. Sorry.
