I've just looked through entire http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html

It never say to invoke "bjam --toolset=xxx". In fact, it never say to invoke bjam *at all*. Can you explain why are you doing that?

That's for building bjam itself. The other document, "Getting Started With Boost", says in section 5.2.4 that you can build Boost from source by invoking bjam: "Change your current directory to the Boost root directory and invoke bjam as follows: bjam --build-dir=build-directory --toolset=toolset-name stage" -Max -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
