[Boost-build] a basic usage question regarding compiler options/flags

Hi,
  How to specify  compile and link options in bjam. Specifically I want to
set "-i_dynamic" and "-shared" options during compile and link time.  I
wasn't able to find any direct answers.
 I did create user-config.jam with these lines without any success:

//user-config.jam
          using intel : : : <linkflags>-i_dynamic <linkflags>-shared-intel

I even tried using linkflags in the exe module as shown below:

exe server : Server.cpp .
           :
              ...

             <linkflags>-shared-intel
             <linkflags>-i_dynamic
          ;

I know this should be trivial to do and I have read the bjam documentation
twice. I will greatly appreaciate any help on the matter.

Thanks
sandeep
