[Boost-testing] BGDX and Dirxion dynamic link failures

For Apple/Mac OS X tests, BGDX and Dirxion are failing all tests involving 
dynamic linking. Yet these same tests are passing for dmcgrath and OSL.

To pin this down, I ran one of the failing tests 
(program_options/cmdline_test_dll) directly from the command line with bjam, 
and the test passed!

The difference turned out to be that if bjam is not given any "-sTOOLS" 
argument, the test passes. But with the "-sTOOLS=gcc-3_3-apple" argument 
actually used in real tests, the tests fail.

gcc-3_3-apple-tools.jam looks like this:

{
   extends-toolset gcc ;
}

I changed that to "extends-toolset darwin ;"

The failing test is now passing! I'll start a full regression test in a few 
minutes.

Could Dirxion have a similar problem?
