Hi all,

I recently decided to try and compile/install Boost for my MSYS/MinGW64 
system. I downloaded the lastest sources for both bjam (3.1.18) and 
Boost itself (1.45.0).     (More precise details of my sytem are below).

I compiled my own bjam with no hassle and got a bin.ntx86_64 version and 
copied it to /mingw/bin. I used the generic command to build it 
(./build.sh) and let it auto-detect the toolset (gcc).

However, the compilation started to fall over once I started to build 
Boost itself. Using the command

/mingw/bin/bjam --prefix=/mingw/boost toolset=gcc address-model=64 
variant=release link=shared threading=multi --build-type=complete stage

I first received the following error (attachment: error1.txt)

After some googling I found a bug report where someone mention the 
workaround of just removing the 'ignore-minus-q' part of the statement, 
this removed the errors and allowed me to continue with the build. Is 
this an acceptable workaround or is there something else that I should 
be doing here?

Anyways, I know receive the following errors (attachment: boost.txt and 
attachment: boostd2.txt)

I did some googling again and found a bug report that is very similar to 
what I am getting (almost identical except for versions and setup). Here 
is the link to the bug report 
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4839. The attachment boostd2 
uses the exact same build command as above but with -d2 tacked on the end.

Can anyone tell me why I am getting this and how I might fix it?

Regards
Bidski
