Let's back up a second. You only need to build process_jam_log if you're planning on running the Boost regression tests. If you're not going to run the regression tests, then I suggest you not waste your time trying to build it. If you're going to run tests, then you should post your questions to the boost-testing mailing list.
[BIM] I thought that I could contribute to the resolution of my overall problem by joining the regressing platoon. I will happily take my specific issues with that process to the testing list.
Bjam insists on trying to use linker options that aren't valid.
It would help if you could send (1) the bjam command line and (2) send the link line and error message.
[BIM] I will now go get some more clarity on the bjam boostrap issue with gcc. The 'sun' versus 'sunpro' issue, however, seems to be purely a defect in the configure script.
