Just days ago.

That shouldn't happen.  If it's happening; I think it's a bjam bug, or
you have somehow got <framework>"" as one of your build
properties... or you have FRAMEWORK defined in your environment or on
the bjam command-line.
That's probably it, in which case this is a BBv2 bug.  The incantation 

    flags darwin.link FRAMEWORK <framework> ;

should cause the $(FRAMEWORK) variable on all targets created with
darwin.link and darwin.link.dll to be set, either to the value of the
framework property if any, or to be empty, so that it isn't picked up
in the environment.  It's the latter case that isn't getting handled.

Volodya?
