Tim,

please refer to gcc setup documentation at:

    http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.reference.tools.compiler.gcc

The syntax is gives is:

    using gcc : [version] : [c++-compile-command] : [compiler options] ;

In other words, you need to have ":" instead of the first and the second ";".

Hope this helps,
Volodya
