-------------------------------------+---------------------------
 The system showing the problem is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on ARMv7a. x86 or x64
 may not have the same problem. This is in Boost 1.56 beta.

 What my CI was always doing for bootstrap is this:

 ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=clang

 Unfortunately, this breaks:

 ./b2 toolset=gcc ...

 iff you bootstrapped with clang! It appears to set the gcc executable path
 to an empty string with obvious consequences.

 ./b2 toolset=clang works fine though, as does bootstrapping with gcc
 whereupon both gcc and clang toolsets work fine.
