I didn't know about the PRESERVE hack. Where can I find out about
these.

No, I modified BoostBuild.py to do an ls -R at the point of the error,
which obviously didn't work. When I use PRESERVE, there it is:

y.x2
y.x1
y.o
y.cpp
x.o
x.c
main-target-obj_2
main-target-obj_1
f.exe
e.target.cpp
e.positions
e.o
e.marked.cpp
e.exe
d_parser.whl
d_parser.o
d_parser.lr0
d_parser.cpp
d_lexer.o
d_lexer.dlp
d_lexer.cpp
c.o
c.h
c.cpp
b.o
a.o <=======
a.exe

I have no clue why it's reported as missing.
