Hello,

a recent update of my Arch Linux machine broke boost build.
Unfortunatelly I cannot downgrade. Example:

$ cat main.cpp
int main (void)
{
        return 0;
}

$ cat Jamroot
exe main : main.cpp ;

$ bjam --debug-generators
     *** construct EXE
         from { main.cpp.CPP }
         properties: <main-target-type>EXE
     find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
     trying type EXE
     there are generators for this type
     trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
     trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
     ***  0  viable generators
warn: Unable to construct ./main
find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
trying type EXE
there are generators for this type
trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
error: no generators were found for type 'EXE'
error: and the requested properties
error: make sure you've configured the needed tools
See
http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option.

I was able to find some other cases with this error on this mailing
list, but nothing helped:

1. $ export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/share/boost-build/
   $ export BOOST_BUILD_PATH=/usr/share/boost-build/
   same error

2. 'using gcc ; ' in Jamroot
   duplicate initialization of gcc

3. reinstalling package
   same error

What else can I do to fix this?

Best Regards
Adam
