I also find it useful, been able to compile the module with different
compilers, but I don't use boost build for it: I compile the module in
question manually instead.

This is to say, I don't think that "2nd opinion" necessiates executing
boost build with several toolsets. Well, if you have a lot of modules
you want a "2nd opinion" about, then, perhaps, it is worth it.

Thanks,
