It means that Jamfile.v2 at libs/filesystem/build refers to a file called 
'exception.cpp', which can't be found. Do you have that file in the 
libs/filesystem/src directory? 

If yes, then I think something wrong in path.jam for OS/2. I'd suggest two 
ideas:
1. Try current Boost CVS. We did not added support for OS/2, but it would be 
simpler to find the bug
2. Run "bjam --v2 -d+5". That will produce a long output. Find the last 
invocation of the GLOB function, and tell me the parameters. The question is 
whether V2 passes wrong argument to GLOB, or GLOB is broken on OS/2.
