Seems to be bug in intel-linux.jam, I'll look into this.

Indeed, I cannot find the <compileflags> feature in the docs:

        http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/builtins/features.html

and there's no such feature. <compileflags> can only be used when initializing
a toolset, and it's a special context. This is confusing, but that's the way it
is for now.
