Douglas,

Where did you get the bjam executable you used?

Are you running bjam from the msys command prompt or from a windows
command prompt?

What version of MINGW are you using?

At one point I had to use the standard command prompt to build boost.  I
would add the directory to the GCC binary to my PATH variable and open
up a standard command prompt (though it looks like bjam now finds mingw
automatically).  I would use the stage option to build everything so my
command line was:

bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" stage

I see in my stage directory libboost_program_options-mgw.lib, so
something must have worked.  I do notice that in your output there is
a .a extension on the library.  Maybe you need to clean out some of the
cruft left from the older -TOOLS=gcc and start fresh.  I think the
following command will do it:

bjam "-sTOOLS=mingw" clean

Hope this helps,
- David
