steve-

yeah i understand. However, I don't know how to tell the last stage to use my embedded compiler. That is the following command fails:
echo_run ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=tile "--toolset-root=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT" clean

because it doesn't recognize the toolset=tile. For some reason, the makefile doesn't go back and set the BOOST_JAMCC=tile-gcc

To build bjam you must use a compiler for the host because bjam has to
run on the host. There's no way around this.
