You should not specify the suffix when using the library. Since it's a
target you are building (right?) you only specify the target (with type).
And also you don't need to use the $(Top), Boost.Build will handle, and for
main targets requires, using relative paths. The example above should be:

exe hello
: hello.c crt0.s <lib>../../init/init
: <include>../include
;
