I found the reason, the following command works for provious case:

C:\boost_1_38_0>bjam toolset=msvc variant=debug,release link=static
threading=multi runtime-link=shared -sZLIB_SOURCE=E:\zlib123
-sBZIP2_SOURCE=E:\bzip2-1.0.5 --with-iostreams "--prefix=e:\program
files\boost" install

The problem is the space in the path, should enquote --prefix= too.
