failed to compile boost.system with msvc-7.1

I downloaded boost1.35.0 and built it with following command:

bjam --toolset=msvc-7.1 --variant=release --threading=multi --
link=shared --with-system stage

and it failed to compile, error message is:

toolset=msvc-7.1 --variant=release --threading=multi --link=shared --

I added the system\src\error_code.cpp to an empty project and can
compiled it with success. So I guess there must be something wrong
with the default compile options, but I donnot know how to fix it.
Could anybody help me out? Any help would be appreciated!

That's a MSVC problem, one of the project settings, I haven't figured it out
yet. Same source code with different project settings will compile without
any warnings. Since it's microsoft speicfic try
microsoft.public.vc.language
