Ok, I was using the wrong version. I used the last SVN version. Now I 
caught up to modular-boost on git but the problem persist.

What is interesting is that when I run with --debug-configuration I can 
clearly see:
...
notice: will use 'C:/subsys/win32/mingw-4.6.2/bin/g++.exe' for gcc, 
condition <toolset>gcc-4.6.2-mingw32
notice: using gcc libraries :: <toolset>gcc-4.6.2-mingw32 :: 
C:/subsys/win32/mingw-4.6.2//bin C:/subsys/win32/mingw-4.6.2//lib 
C:/subsys/win32/mingw-4.6.2//lib32 C:/subsys/win32/mingw-4.6.2//lib64

c:\subsys\win32\mingw-4.6.2\mingw32\bin\ranlib.exe
...

I interpret this as the b2 was able to find the compiler, but when I 
specify it as a requirement on the command line, nothing happens, i.e. I 
can see the earlier message in the log file of '-ftemplate ....'

What else could I check? (Remember this worked before upgrade without 
problems.)
