Between 1.57 and 1.58 there were no changes to Boost.Log build system, 
except the switch to Boost.Config checks for the target architecture. I 
believe there was a change in Boost.Build that started causing this.

I'm not a Boost.Build expert but as a quickfix you could try building 
Boost with all features explicitly set as listed in the error message.
