My default toolset is msvc-8.0, and it seems that std::wcout doesn't quite 
work there, although the trick with _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT) 
does enable wprintf et al.

So I tried 14.0. Turns out that it's too new:

actions.cpp
c:\projects\boost-git\boost\tools\quickbook\src\utils.hpp(40): error C2280: 
'boost::basic_string_ref<char,std::char_traits<char>>::basic_string_ref<std::allocator<char>>(std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char>> 
&&)': attempting to reference a deleted function
.\boost/utility/string_ref.hpp(98): note: see declaration of 
'boost::basic_string_ref<char,std::char_traits<char>>::basic_string_ref'

I then tried 12.0, same error. Still too new. 11.0 worked though, yay.

Here's the same error from g++ 6.3 -std=c++1z:

quickbook::role_action(quickbook::state&, quickbook::value)':

This looks like the string_ref issue someone already complained about. Your 
Travis probably missed it because it tests against 1.63.0 instead of 
depinst.py'ing its way to freedom, democracy and the American way. (Distant 
bald eagle cry.)
