In building boost I ran into an issue with bjam in having DOT as an 
environment variable and I did not find any other posts documenting the 
problem so I am adding this to save others the effort. DOT is in my 
environment for doxygen to find. Once I cleared DOT for the build 
everything seemed to be fine. Below is the output when DOT="C:\Program 
Files\ATT\Graphviz\bin"

C:\boost1\boost_1_32_0>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 install
C:\boost1\boost_1_32_0\tools/build/v1\allyourbase.jam:1358: in SubDir
