Maybe I missed something, but I was unable to build with b2 with a clang based Cray compiler.
I can understand why since it's not publicly available (it's a PITA with most tools actually) but CMake was able to do the job.
Maybe that's a corner case, it's difficult to know how many unknown compilers are out there.
