Thanks, Steven. I did discover the correct toolset version syntax by
chance in another posting to this list and it's partially working. We
only use the one toolset here so I now have:
obj Stub_Types_obj : Stub_Types_i386.cpp : <toolset-gcc:version>x86 ;
obj Stub_Types_obj : Stub_Types_ppc.cpp : <toolset-gcc:version>ppc ;
As we only build static libraries from our own code ATM I usually do
'bjam link=static' and that just works. (I also have <link>static as a
project-wide default build option in Jamroot.) However, if I omit the
link property from the command line I still get the errors I mentioned
in my first email.
Presumably Boost.Build is only having a problem trying to work out how
to build my library as a shared library, but I can't see why.

I still haven't found anything in the docs. Have I missed it or should
something be added to the docs?
