Subject: [boost] [build] msvc-14 linker step failing?

I have, and have had for some time:

using msvc : 14.0 : "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0/VC/bin/cl.exe" ;

In my user-config.jam

However, with current develop this leads to the linker step always failing:

msvc.manifest
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\msvc-14.0s11\debug\address-model-64\link-static\runtime-link-static\config_info.exe
'mt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  if exist
"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\msvc-14.0s11\debug\address-model-64\link-static\runtime-link-static\config_info.exe.manifest"
(
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  call
"..\..\..\bin.v2\standalone\msvc\msvc-14.0s11\address-model-64\architecture-x86\msvc-setup.bat"
amd64 >nul
 Â mt -nologo -manifest
"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\msvc-14.0s11\debug\address-model-64\link-static\runtime-link-static\config_info.exe.manifest"
"-outputresource:..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\config_info.test\msvc-14.0s11\debug\address-model-64\link-static\runtime-link-static\config_info.exe;1"
 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  )

As you can see no tool name is set on the start of the command line.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks!  John.
