Or maybe just improve current docs.

You did not provided your user-config.jam (which I've asked for above).

Weird. Can you add --debug-configuration option to bjam and try again, sending
me the output?

No. Why would you want to do that? Per docs, you can omit
the path in first invocation.

Why? It's exactly the command that can be executed to compile C++ sources.

This suggests that Boost.Build did not found the compiler at the location you've specified. Again
your user-config.jam and output of bjam with additional --debug-configuration option
are required to further diagnose this.
