I am seeing problems with b2/boost.build on Ubuntu.

I have a configuration for "Clang - tip of tree", which I define thus:

using clang : tot
        : "/Sources/LLVM/bin/bin/clang++"
        : <cxxflags>"-stdlib=libc++ -I /Sources/LLVM/llvm/projects/libcxx
-Wno-register" <linkflags>"-stdlib=libc++"
        ;

Works great in 1.5x through 1.71, and for 1.72.0 on Mac OS.
On Ubuntu, however, it fails:

$ ./b2 toolset=clang-tot/cxxstd=2a
MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++
Please report this error to the Boost mailing list: http://www.boost.org
You will need to manually configure MPI support.
