Hubert,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, that does not work. If you
specify the mpi compiler, then it extracts the mpi include and library
paths from the mpi compiler and then attempts to use them with the
regular xlC. Unfortunately, I need it to call bgxlC instead of xlC.

My current solution (as documented
https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/Boost) is to use a modified version
of vacpp.jam which has the modified base compiler names.

If would be nice, however, if there were a way to override the compiler
names used by vacpp.jam so that I don't need as much copy-and-paste.
