Well, per 

   http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html#bbv2.reference.tools.compiler.intel

this almost should work, applying those flags to all linker invocation. But
you'd need

   using intel : : : <linkflags>"-i_dynamic -shared-intel" ;

If this does not work, in Boost.Build M12, can you explain how exactly it does not work?

This should also work.
