Problems building Boost 1.27.0 libraries

I have downloaded Boost and am trying to build the libraries on Solaris
8 with g++ 2.95.3:

        jam -sBOOST_ROOT=. -sTOOLS=gcc -sBUILD="debug release"

The thread library has an error building once.cpp:

  gcc-C++-action
libs/thread/build/bin/libboost_thread/gcc/release/runtime-link-dy
  namic/threading-multi/once.o 
  g++: unrecognized option `-pthread'
  libs/thread/build/../src/once.cpp:42: warning: aggregate has a partly
bracketed
  initializer
  libs/thread/build/../src/once.cpp:138: parse error at end of input
    
    g++  -c -Wall -ftemplate-depth-100  -DNDEBUG  -O4 -finline-functions
-Wno-in
  line -pthread   -I"libs/thread/build" -I"."   -o
"libs/thread/build/bin/libboost
  _thread/gcc/release/runtime-link-dynamic/threading-multi/once.o" 
"libs/thread/b
  uild/../src/once.cpp"

  ...failed gcc-C++-action
libs/thread/build/bin/libboost_thread/gcc/release/runti
  me-link-dynamic/threading-multi/once.o ...

The Python library seems to have some missing files.  Lots of errors of
this type:

  -- In file included from boost/python/detail/base_object.hpp:16, 
                 from boost/python/detail/types.hpp:27,
                 from boost/python/detail/call_object.hpp:9,
                 from libs/python/build/../src/types.cpp:11:
  boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:24: patchlevel.h: No such file or
directory
  boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:100: Python.h: No such file or
directory

The regex library builds fine, but I get the following errors when I use
the gcc.mak makefile to build and run the regression test in
libs/regex/test/regress:

  g++  -pedantic -Wall -I../../../../ -I./  -L../../build/gcc  -O2 -o r2
tests.cpp
   parse.cpp regress.cpp -lboost_regex

  make: *** [r2] Error 1

I can work around this one by modifying gcc.mak to remove the -pedantic
option.

I would appreciate any help I can get with the other errors.  Are the
Python and Threads libraries not supported with my configuration? 
Thanks,
