it does not seem to work, or I do not know how to pass that parameter:

E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost\status>"E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\bjam.exe" --v2 
"-sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST" 
"-sBOOST_ROOT=E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\boost" como-win-4.3.3_vc7 
como-win-4.3.4.1_vc7 link=static -d2 --dump-tests -l1500 
--build-dir=E:\DEVEL\BOOST_RTEST\results"
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).
error: unable to construct  ../libs/config/test/link/link_test
To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option.
