You're using Boost.Build V1, on which I cannot give clear directions.
In Boost.Build V2:

        - libssl.a should be easy, just use
        <find-static-library>ssl
        You will need either SVN HEAD of Boost.Build or the
        Milestone 12 release

        - For libstdc++.a you might try the same trick. This
        might also need <linkflags>-static-libgcc, but I 
        don't remember for sure.
