[Boost-users] [Boost-build]/[bjam] Problem compiling CVS bjam from sources

As far as I'm aware I'm using pretty much a default ubuntu installation with
gcc 4.1.2.

After compiling bjam from sources, using
these<http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/jam/building.html>instructions,
and running the tests, I get the following failures:

root_at_---------:/usr/local/src/boost/tools/jam/test# sh test.sh
> --- Testing SHELL builtin...
> --- Testing W32_GETREGNAMES builtin...
> --- Testing var expansion...
> --- Testing var on target semantics...
> --- Testing var expansion...
> var_expand.jam:14: error: [FAILED] (==) ''
> var_expand.jam:17: error: [FAILED] (==) ''
> --- Complete: PASSED(21) *FAILED(2)*
>

The output from the compilation is below (it seems to work, even with the
lists of warnings):

Note that the first 10 or so lines of the output above keep coming up when
I'm trying to build other boost libraries. What am I doing wrong?
