Well, take a look at tools/Jamfile.v2
It specifies <runtime-link>static as requirement, and it applies to all 
subproejcts including quickbook. 

The change was made but nobody else but John Maddock ;-)
John, I'm very surprised that any distro lacks static runtime, and would say 
such distro is ehmm.. nonstandard.

Maybe you can check with distro makes to make sure? And, what's the command 
line that causes error, and what's the error is?
