        Copying bjam to a directory in the PATH,
and running the above commandline did not help. Bjam tried to build  
with toolset gcc instead of toolset darwin.
What DID work was modifying -"libs/regex/build/Jamfile.v2", the  
modified version of which is included with this
message, and then rerunning ./configure and make.
