Hi,

I am stuck with the following problem:  I am trying to pass the flags "-m32 -march=i686" to the gcc when compiling boost, and I just can't figure out how.  I found a couple of instructions on the web and tried a number of things, but nothing seems to be working.

So I have two questions:
1) How do I pass specific options into bjam to pass on to the gcc?
2) How can I check the options with which the compiler gets called?

Thanks in advance,
Nils
