Hi Vladimir, I try what you suggest, including

using gcc : : gcc ;

as the first line in my Jamroot but I got this error:

error: at
/usr/local/src/BOOST-BUILD/boost-build2/boost-build/build/project.jam:828
error: duplicate initialization of gcc with the following parameters:
error: version = 4.3.3
error: previous initialization at
/usr/local/src/BOOST-BUILD/boost-build2/boost-build/build/project.jam:828

This is the bjam I'm using

bjam --version
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12)
Boost.Jam 03.1.16

any suggestion?

best regards,

Jorge
