Ok thanks for that. I guessed as my problem is with building boost
with boost-build, not with the boost-build project itself, that it
would be better here. If this is still off-topic and likely to annoy
then please let me know and I'll take it there.

Thanks - that was the problem. The documentation mentions
user-config.jam, and there was one in my boost_1_34_1 folder so I
assumed that was the one to use. It's a bit confusing having several
around. I've found the one it was using and modified that instead.

Done. It's using the correct toolchain now, however won't compile.
At the offset it passes an invalid option to `ld`, even if I let it
run after that I get a horrendous number of compiler errors and lots
of failure lines.
I currently get this output:
<<<<<<<<<<
$ ./bjam.exe -q --with-iostreams --with-regex --with-test --with-thread stage
Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(don't panic: this is a strictly optional feature).

Are you able to help me with that? I'm hoping that this is the cause
of the errors after it too, otherwise there's likely something
horrible going on!
Thanks,
