Comment (by Marcin Wojdyr <wojdyr@…>):

 It still doesn't work in 1.55.

 When bootstrap.sh is run without toolset specified, it first guesses
 toolset as mingw, but then

 {{{
   case $guessed_toolset in
 [...]

     mingw )
     TOOLSET=gcc
     ;;
 }}}
 so `$guessed_toolset` is set to mingw but `TOOLSET` is set to gcc instead,
 and bootstrap fails while compiling BJAM_SOURCES.
 Specifying `--with-toolset=mingw` avoids this substitution, but in jam
 file gcc must be used.

 Here is a patch that makes it work.
