It's not true. There's fragment from my bjam -d+4 output:

...

Linking is executed "raw". But "spawn: invalid argument" message means
_mode_ invalid argument, which is P_NOWAIT(valid) in this case. It's
something wrong with mingw. Alexis, try update runtime library, or, as Rene
writes, vc version of bjam.
