You missed something.. The --toolsets option specifies the toolsets for 
testing. For you it's failing to build the testing tools, specifically 
process_jam_log. For some platform, the two compilers used are different 
because the testing toolset is sometimes not capable of building PJL. 
Hence we default to using g++ on *nix for building PJL. To specify the 
compiler for building PJL add the "--pjl-toolsel" option.
