What seems to be happening in my case is, it cannot find any gcc or any toolset in PATH. I am not sure if gcc should be in PATH. i.e if "which gcc" should give an output.
gcc via $PATH is the system gcc (version 4.3 or something I think); the gcc boost / b2 uses is the gcc in user_config.jam (this can be seen not from the bootstrap.log output; but from the output of b2) - I'm using 4.7.2 It eventually defaults to cc toolset and it takes the
environment variables CC in that case. (as shown in bootstrap.log)
Could you just tell what do you get in your bootstrap.log? What is the toolset it seems to be using - is it taking from your custom gcc path / just whatever gcc it finds in "which gcc". Also what is the version of boost you have?
Below is the log, I'm using 1.51 ### ### Using 'gcc' toolset. ### rm -rf bootstrap mkdir bootstrap gcc -o bootstrap/jam0 command.c compile.c constants.c debug.c function.c glob.c hash.c hdrmacro.c headers.c jam.c jambase.c jamgram.c lists.c make.c make1.c object.c option.c output.c parse.c pathunix.c regexp.c rules.c scan.c search.c subst.c timestamp.c variable.c modules.c strings.c filesys.c builtins.c pwd.c class.c native.c md5.c w32_getreg.c modules/set.c modules/path.c modules/regex.c modules/property-set.c modules/sequence.c modules/order.c execunix.c fileunix.c ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= clean ...found 1 target... ...updating 1 target... ...updated 1 target... ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=gcc --toolset-root= ...found 50 targets... ...updating 3 targets...

The following, if I literally just copy-paste it to my linux command line, works. If it doesn't for you, then perhaps there is something wrong with your environment?
