Here is the result:

bjam "-sTOOLS=vc7.1" "-sBUILD=<runtime-link>static"
skipping <@boost!libs!python!build>boost_python.dll due to incompatible
build requirements <runtime-link>dynamic.
skipping <@boost!libs!python!build>libboost_python.lib due to incompatible
build requirements <runtime-link>dynamic.
skipping <@boost!libs!python!build>boost_python.dll due to incompatible
