I don't know qcc, but if I look inside tools/build/v2/tools/qcc.jam it 
is derived from gcc.
The question is if you could use gcc as toolset value on QNX too (bjam 
toolset=gcc)?
Is GNU as available and installed on QNX (required to compile the 
assembler)?

Maybe you could try to add <toolset>qcc in $(properties) in rule configure.

Is a free version of QNX available? AFAIK some years ago it was but the 
new owner of QNX has revoked the free license.
