Hi Jonathan,

when I run bjam from the iostreams build directory the iostreams lib still
isn't built even if I run "bjam -sNO_COMPRESSION" as there are some errors
building bzip.o due to symmetric-filter-adapter. (system: gcc-3.3.3 on linux)
I just noticed, this has already been reported elsewhere in this thread.

The problem I originally reported occurs when bjam (v1) is called from the
boost root directory. In that case BBv1 picks up the wrong source files for
iostreams. I just rebuilt bjam from the latest cvs sources and tried again 
with an up to date cvs checkout of boost. The build system still mixes up the
serialisation source filenames with the iostreams lib (see my original post).
As I don't know anything about Boost Build, I don't really know how to track
down this problem...
