There is a problem building OpenMPI Python plugin with both this version
and the 1.70.0 when b2 was updated. Same configuration with previous
versions of boost built just fine. Complete log available at,

This is probably not noticed since there is another regression [1] since
1.70.0 that turns off building the plugin and makes it impossible to
turn back on. The fix is missing in 1.71.0 as well.

Any Boost.Build experts have an idea what is b2 complaining about here?
