On Linux, and HPUX, I can successfully use:
     bjam define=fred

On AIX:
   This produces a core dump

# bjam define=PORTABLE_BINARY_ARCHIVE
...patience...
...patience...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# bjam -v
Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.17. OS=AIX.

trying different variations like:

   bjam define=fred -n
   bjam -j2 -q define=bill=1

have no effect, all cause a crash, it appears that bjam cant cope with
defines on AIX?
