 no idea - boost/tools/build/src/tools/link.jam is part of the boost.build
 system and I'm not an expert of boost.build.
 maybe you should add an bug for boost.build?

 fine, and I've been able to check that all the context and coroutine tests
 are "**passed**", both on LoP LE (Ubuntu 14.04) and LOP BE (Fedora 19).

 that's really nice - I'll merge the changes to branch master

 unfortunately I've no PPC64 system and boost does not have PPC64
 regression tests for this platform.

 best,
 Oliver
