The qcc toolset basically "wraps" the gcc environment.  The current supported compiler is gcc 4.4.2.  I believe QNX provides free downloads of the development environment, as well as a pre-made QNX hosted VM.   The 30 day trial license can be found here: http://www.qnx.com/products/evaluation/  I get the same issue with qcc 4.7.1 (which is currently considered prototype).

I seemed to get the same result with this change.  (but, I don't really know specifically what I'm doing in bjam files)

    if ( ! ( <toolset>gcc in $(properties)
        || <toolset>qcc in $(properties)
            || <toolset>intel in $(properties)
            || <toolset>msvc in $(properties) ) )

do you use the bjam version provided by boost-1.51?
Yes, bjam is created on the first build.  I'm using QNX SDK 6.5 SP1 on a Windows hosted development environment.  VS2012 also installed.  Contents of batch file provide below. (gcc 4.4.2 support, and gcc 4.7.1 prototype)

on which architecture you have QNX running (i386/x8664,arm, mips, ...), which binary format and which ABI is used?

Although the SDK support several target processors, this builds target for x86 (AMD K8 architecture - 32-bit addressing). I believe ELF and SYSV (still need to verify) and the boost toolset configuration is set to qcc (not gcc).  Is there a good/simple way to verify the ABI?

As I am not very familiar with bjam syntax - could the boost_1_51_0\libs\context\build\jamfile.v2 just be confused because of the toolset definition?  Considering qcc wraps gcc...?  I'm looking specifically at:

rule configure ( properties * )
{
    local result  ;

    if ( ! ( <toolset>gcc in $(properties)
            || <toolset>intel in $(properties)
            || <toolset>msvc in $(properties) ) )
    {
        result = <build>no ;
        ECHO "toolset not supported" ;
    }

    return $(result) ;
}

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.
