Well, "completely irrelevant" might have been a step too far.
You do of course have to run b2 with compatible settings to your
eventual usage such that it builds the libraries with the right filenames.
Indeed.
I can now confirm that at least with boost 1.73.0 autolinking works as expected and it was built with the same arguments that I passed to b2 when I compiled boost 1.70.0 (which does not support autolinking with clang).
So as long as I use boost > 1.70.0 it seems to work as expected.
