It looks like this stuff was added in version 1.49 of gcc-tools.jam
by David Abrahams in the v1 tree:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/tools/build/v1/gcc-tools.jam?r1=1.48&r2=1.49

This file was just copied to the gcc.jam file in v2.

I don't know what the motivation was for that change, nor why
it breaks mingw now.

Do you have cygwin and mingw on your system, so you can test
with both compilers?
