Hi Bronek,
the problem is that como-win.jam does not support generic shared libraries, 
while Boost.Build V2 defaults to using shared libraries. If I understand 
correctly, the como compiler itself has problems producing shared libraries.

So I'd say one way to get this work is to additionally pass "link=static" to 
bjam.

HTH,
Volodya
