If this results in compilation errors, you should see the compile
command after
the errors.

Also, the "-d+2" option will print all commands that are run, not just those
that failed.

Thanks for that hint - I've edited the makefile to call bjam -d+2 so I
can see that it is the call to icpc that is failing. It looks as if the
intel includes are not being used and the default gcc 2.95 ones are put
in instead.

How do I change the includes in jam?
