Actually what jam uses for compiling depends on two things: Jambase and 
the environment variable `CC'. The Jambase compiled into the jam 
executables available on BeBits (published by Eugenia) and DevCentral 
default to `gcc' (so does the one you can build from `src/tools/jam'). 
This default can be overridden by the environment variable `CC', which 
you usually don't want to set.
