I have this problem also, on Linux (Mandrake 8.0) with gcc 2.96 and 
STLport4.5.

Running 'jam -ftools/build/allyoubase.jam -sTOOLS="gcc-stlport"' 
results in thousands of 'warning: unknown rule split' and a seg 
fault...

This is using the jam built from the boost_1_25_1/tools/build/jam_src 
directory, and there are no directories whose names contain spaces in 
the hierarchy.
