There's an answer there, with the solution to use --layout=versioned or
--layout=tagged.

The default on unixy systems is --layout=system, which doesn't add any
sort of sane tags, leading to the conflict you get.

Note that this list is primarily about the build system itself, not the
particular application that is "building Boost."
