I have seen reports of the above error arising from confusion between 
compiler versions. If I am using MSVC++ 6 and try to build a 7.1 target 
with:
        bjam -sTOOLS=vc7.1
then I get exactly the same error.

I cannot see why it would be trying to build a 7.x target from the 
information you have supplied. However, I hope this information provides 
you with some clue.
