Comment:

 I can confirm that something is wrong here. As raimue noted, jam is not
 needed to build boost. It was cleaning boost, not installing jam, that
 made the problem go away. I just tried installing boost and got this:
 {{{
 --->  Extracting boost
 --->  Extracting boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2
 --->  Configuring boost
 -n Building Boost.Jam with toolset darwin...
 usage: mkdir [-pv] [-m mode] directory ...
 tools/jam/src/
 ...skipped bjam for lack of ...
 ...failed updating 1 target.../bjam
 -n Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?...
 disabled.
 Generating Boost.Build configuration in user-config.jam...
 Generating Makefile...
 --->  Building boost with target all
 Makefile:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.
 }}}

 However, I then cleaned boost and tried installing it again, and it built
 OK. I guess that's a pretty simple workaround, but it would be good to
 find out why this is happening and make it work the first time.
