I'm afraid you are using instruction for current version of Boost.Build V2,
while 1.33.1 uses Boost.Build V1 by default. I really recommend you try
current release. If that's not possible, open tools/build/v1/gcc-tool.jam,
or similar, and read comments there -- you can specify the compiler to use
with -sGXX or something like that.
