I brought up this issue on the Boost build mailing list and it was eventually ignored, so I will bring it up here again.
If I run "b2 toolset=sometoolset" Boost Build ends up invoking other toolsets in my user-config.jam along with "sometoolset" to do the build. This invoking of other toolsets seems not only a waste of time and unnecessary but also wrong in the sense that the invoking of some other toolset in user-config.jam may produce an error. I do not understand the necessity for invoking other toolsets in user-config.jam when I have specified the toolset I want.
Boost.Build should only build with the toolsets that you specify. (Unless a Jamfile explicitly overrides it, which shouldn't happen anywhere in Boost.) I've never encountered anything like this. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
