[Boost-users] Building Boost 1.34.0 libraries with bjam

Options for building the Boost libraries with bjam seem to have changed 
from 1.33 to 1.34.  At least, I can't be sure that the result will be 
the same.  I looked at the 1.34.0 beta docs and the common.jam and 
gcc.jam files, but I am still unsure of what to do.

I built the 1.33.x libraries this way:

setenv PYTHON_VERSION 2.3
bjam -sTOOLS=gcc -sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/gcc344 -sGXX="g++344 -m64" -sGCC="gcc344 -m64" --with-python-root=/usr --stagedir=stageFC3 -sBUILD="debug release <threading>multi <shared-linkable>true <instruction-set>opteron" stage

Most of the options make it obvious what I want.  The 
'<shared-linkable>true' option was necessary to add '-fPIC', which our 
binaries need in order to dynamically link (plug-in) shared libraries.

I will appreciate any help you can offer in making the transition to 
1.34.0 easier.

BTW, it would be nice to see a list of available options for each 
toolset that comes with Boost bjam.
