1.45 needs newer Boost.Build that you have.

Yeah, that's too old.

This is buffling. The code that build-system.jam:722 is:

    local first-project = [ $(targets[0]).project ] ;
    local first-project-root-location = [ $(first-project).get project-root ] ;
    local first-project-root-module = [ project.load $(first-project-root-location) ] ;

could you add:

        ECHO "Target " [ $(targets[0]).str ] ;
        ECHO "first-project" $(first-project) ;

after the first line and report what's the output? Do you have an easy way to reproduce
this problem?
