My workaround was to edit the 'Path' env variable in one of the temp files
generated by bjam (b2_msvc_14.0_vcvarsall_amd64.cmd in your temp directory)
not to point to the x64 cross compiler, but to the native one. For me this
involved changing

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64_x86

To 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64
