This seems to work for me:

using gcc : 4.6.2 : g++ : <cxxflags>"-isystem some_directory" ;

$ b2 -n
...
gcc.compile.c++ bin\gcc-mingw-4.6.2\debug\main.o

    "g++.exe"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -isystem some_directory -O0
-fno-inline -Wall -g     -c -o "bin\gcc-mingw-4.6.2\debug\main.o" "main.cpp"

What exactly is the problem?
