OK, I got to the bottom of this one.

Evidently I tried to build while gcc-4.8.4 was selected. The reason it confused me is that the errors only showed at the end of the build, but since most of it was already made the build process skipped compiling a lot of stuff.

To fix: Selected gcc-2.95.3, did a jam clean and rebuilt.

Please change title to "Jam doesn't check for gcc-2.95.3 before building hybrid"

One of the reasons why the build process consists of two phases (configure and jam) is because jam can't do certain things like executing a command (e.g. gcc --version) and processing its output. Even if it could, there are certain checks -- like this -- we really don't want to do in order to avoid slowing the build warm-up down.
