Ah! I was trying things like toolset="msvc
borland"
None of the http
://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial.html hello world
examples invoke bjam with multiple requests. None even
invoke with a
single toolset request. bjam --help and its variants don't
offer any
help either.
Also, it is hard to find the link to the html docs. From the
boost.org
main page, you have to know that Boost.Build is considered a
"tool".
Once you figure that out, and get to the
http:/
/www.boost.org/tools/build/v2/index.html page, the Quick
access
section has a line that reads "Documentation
(PDF)", with
"Documentation" linked to the HTML version and
"PDF" linked to the PDF
version. I had no idea there was an HTML version until I say
your
reference below. Apparently every time I have clicked on
"PDF" rather
than "Documentation". It would be helpful if you
changed the line to
"Documentation (HTML, PDF)" with appropriate
links.

I'll rephrase the question. How do I apply a compiler switch
in my
Jamfile to builds for one specific toolset. How do I apply
the switch
for that toolset, but only on one specific platform?

That was one of the sections I looked at. Not sure why it
confused me.
It would be a little easier if the full command line
(beginning with
"bjam") was shown.

I found some references to (host|target)-os in the
Boost.Build mailing list
archive, but it would be great if you(?) could add the
target-os (and
host-os) definitions and their intended usage to:
