Based on a cursory look at the Boost.Build documentation and the "borland"
toolset file (borland-tools.jam), I think that the answers to these
questions are

bjam -sTOOLS=borland -sBUILD="<cxxflags>-a4"

and

bjam -sTOOLS=borland -sBUILD="<threading>multi"

respectively.

Alternatives include:

- editing borland-tools.jam and changing -a8 to -a4.
- editing borland-tools.jam and removing -a8, allowing your -a4 option in
bcc32.cfg to take effect.
- making a dedicated library project for Boost.Signals and building from the
IDE, bypassing bjam.

If this doesn't help, try the boost-install list:
