Ok, had a shot at this.  Applied the patches to the latest at GitHub.

I had to set execute bit for:

./bootstrap.sh
./tools/build/v2/engine/build.sh

Then ./bootstrap.sh worked as expected.

Generated links to headers in ./boost with

./b2 headers

No failures reported.  However later inspection reveailed that it 
reported making boost/config.hpp symlink twice:
mklink-or-dir boost/config
link.mklink boost/config.hpp
link.mklink boost/config.hpp

have not got that working yet.  First issue I hit is that I get symlink:

  config.hpp -> ../libs/type_traits/include/boost/config.hpp

rather than

  config.hpp -> ../libs/config/include/boost/config.hpp

which was no good for compilation, replacing that manually got me 
further until l hit similar issue with

  config.hpp -> ../libs/type_traits/include/boost/config.hpp

Root cause is probably the same.  Any suggestions? I may look more at 
this tomorrow.
