[Boost-users] BJam can't find arguments to gcc-spawn

I am having problems running even a basic Jamfile consisting only of:

Main : main.c ;

When running bjam with debugging on, I receive this output (truncated).  I
looked at allyourbase.jam and gcc-tools.jam, and it looks like OK jam code
to me... why won't main.c get passed in as the target?
