Not sure now. I downloaded version 1.30.2 of boost. The build.bat file in
{root}\tools\build\jam_src
cannot work correctly with mingw as it says.

First I have to add following to build.bat for it can guess mingw

call :Test_Path gcc.exe
if not errorlevel 1 (
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=mingw
    set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT=%FOUND_PATH%..\
    goto :eof)
setlocal & endlocal

It guess first? Should use my environment first! I have set both
BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET and TOOLS!

set TOOLS=mingw
Set BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET=mingw

Even build.bat can guess my mingw, it failed as following:
