Looks good to me.
Building Boost.Jam with toolset gcc-3.3... ./configure: ./bootstrap/jam0: No such file or directory tools/jam/src//bjam
Urr. Looks like the procedure for building Boost.Jam is using a Boost.Build toolset name. They are distinct sets. Doug?

You got the command right; there's a bug in the configure script.
Try changing the line in ./configure that reads
# Determine the toolset, if not already decided if test "x$TOOLSET" = x; then
so that it reads:
# Determine the toolset, if not already decided if test "x$TOOLSET" != y; then
This is a hack, but it will build bjam with your system compiler no matter which toolset you've requested for your Boost build. That should be fine.
So I made the change to the configure script that you suggested and then ran it.
