To build everything use
bjam --build-type=complete ...

To build specific libraries use combinations of the following:
debug release link=static,shared runtime-link=static,shared 
threading=single,multi

For example

  bjam release link=static,shared threading=single ...

builds two libraries,
* single threaded release static lib
* single threaded release dynamic lib
