Hi Steven,
I backed out the link-with-ld generators and the libraries being added to the link line now.  However if I add 
 project : requirements   <static-only>on:<link>static  
or 
b2 link=static ...

The libraries are mangled 
                    <l/link-static>z <l/link-static>bz2

Any ideas how I can correct this?

Thanks

Brian
