[Boost-users] BJAM : tracking dependencies

Hello ppl

I have some questions about the way bjam implements dependencies tracking.

I need a tool that would do this for a project that uses gcc. (it 
doesn't use gmake and not entire gnu toolset is available)

does bjam by iteself parses all the source files, looking for incldues 
and then parses them to see any updates, or gcc does it?

by the way I downloaded bjam sources and wanted to build it and on one 
machine it gave me absolutely weird results (compilation went fine, but 
on linking I saw some strange output with strings from registry):
...
