Hiya Clark :-)

Shortly after you left IRC yesterday I figured out what the problem is. 
It turns out you'll need to set up a "user-config.jam". The key portion 
of the problem is the bjam invocation:

>> # Starting tests ("...bjam" --v2 ... gcc ...
----------------------------------------^^^

Because the regression.py is using that syntax to specify the toolset it 
doesn't select the autoconfigured toolset. If it had used the 
"toolset=gcc" form it would work :-\ Since you are likely going to need 
a user-config.jam to eventually name other special toolset version you 
might as well set it up now.
