Because the variables are case-sensitive. -sBUILD=, as you write later on,
is the proper spelling.

Not every one of the buildable boost libraries supplies both static and
dynamic libraries on all platforms; you'll need to rely on the Jamfiles
which specify them to "do the right thing". The <runtime-link> feature
controls which C++ runtime library version gets linked to the result, not
whether it's static or dynamic. The best you can do is

    bjam_solaris -a "-sTOOLS=gcc-stlport" "-sBUILD=debug
release" -sSTLPORT_ROOT=/core/elements/cots/stlport-4.5.3
