I tried compiling it on an Ubuntu 16.04 (x86_64) machine with the 
following compilers:

* GCC 4.8 with C++11 (and libstdc++)
* GCC 6 with C++14 (and libstdc++)
* Clang 3.8 with C++14 and libc++

GCC 6 and Clang 3.8 succeeded, GCC 4.8 failed. The error can be seen at 
the end of this email.

Additionally, I realized two other problems:

1.
Using Boost.Build option "--build-type=complete" does not work (only 
"-build-type=minimal" works). Before compilation even started it fails 
like this:

error: Name clash for 
'<p/home/jenkins/workspace/TEST_Boost_Build/gcc48/installed/opt/BENOCS/gcc48/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu>libboost_atomic-gcc48-mt-d-1_64.a'
error:
error: Tried to build the target twice, with property sets having
error: these incompatible properties:
error:
error:     -  <dll-path>/opt/BENOCS/gcc48/bin
error:     -  none
error:
error: Please make sure to have consistent requirements for these
error: properties everywhere in your project, especially for install
error: targets.

2.
The other problem is not specific to this Boost beta but instead existed 
from the beginning. When using Boost-Build option "--layout=versioned" 
the generated libraries' names should contain the compiler-tag and its 
version. However, this stopped working for GCC since the release of GCC 
5. It now misses the compiler's version.
I assume it has something to do with GCC changing its version-scheme 
where the major-version is increased for each new compiler release.

Hope that helps,
Deniz Bahadir

PS: The following is the error output when compiling with GCC 4.8:
