You can use the 'build-dir' project attribute, described in 

http://boost.sourceforge.net/boost-build2/boost_build_v2.html#project_rule

for example

project 
: build-dir /tmp/my_build_dir
;

This is not 100% satisfactory solution, e.g. if building from read-only 
medium, you can't tweak Jamfile so that binaries are placed to read-write 
location, but might work for you.

Thanks for pointing out... need to figure out where the link target has 
gone ;-)
