Subject: [Boost-testing] Regression test problems on VC10?

My VC10 trunk regression tests failed last night with the error

C:/boosttrunk/tools_bb/build\configure.jam:145: in builds-raw
*** argument error
* rule UPDATE_NOW ( targets * : log ? : ignore-minus-n ? )
* called with: (
C:\boosttrunk\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\regex\build\msvc-10.0\debug>has_icu.exe
C:\boosttrunk\results\boost\bin.v2\libs\regex\build\msvc-10.0\debug>has_icu.pdb
: : ignore-minus-n : ignore-minus-q )
* extra argument ignore-minus-q
(builtin):see definition of rule 'UPDATE_NOW' being called

I tried deleting the tools_bjam directory (which contained the exisiting
bjam.exe), and it then failed to build bjam with the error:

builtins.c(30) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/wait.h': No
such file or directory

Is the build broken on visual studio?
