With all those replies, I was able to diagnose the problem. On a number of
toolsets, <runtime-link>dynamic automatically sets <threading>multi. The
program_options jamfiles had std::facet-support in requirements, which
forces <runtime-link>static on intel. Apparently, the handling of
std::facet-support is done after <threading>multi is added, which leads to
inconsistency.

I'll raise the issue on jamboost@

Thanks!
