It currently is not possible to build bjam with clang on unix, as the bjam files seems to be broken. Is there any change a bjam expert could have a quick look? Hopefully it will not require too major modifications. The darwin one works fine.

I get the following output. The '-dumpmachine' flag appears to have been inherited from g++, and does not appear in clang. Even if I remove this, it still doesn't fix the rest of the problems.

bash-4.1$ ./bjam
