[Boost-build] Different <cflags> per toolset?

Subject: [Boost-build] Different <cflags> per toolset?

Hello,

I am a novice at boost-build, and have run into the following problem:
I have upgraded the compiler on my development machine to gcc-4.4 .
In the code I am currently working on, to get the code to build with gcc-4.4,
I need to add a gcc-4.4 specific cflag. This fixes the build on my dev machine.
However, this breaks the code on the buildmachine and other developers.

So I need to specify cflags that are specific to a given toolset.

I do not yet understand enough of boost-build to do this,
I have no clue if this is possible, how hard this is, or where to start...

Some pointers would be greatly appreciated!

(In general, some advanced examples of boost-build environments
would be very much appreciated.
I find it very hard to learn the boost-build language, due to lack of
good documentation and samples...)

Version:
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12)
Boost.Jam 03.1.16

Best regards,

Dieter Van de Walle
