It worked actually again by coincidence. Another project suffers the 
same issue, even after the adaptations.
I suspected that the installed bjam (Version 2011.12.1) is the guilty 
one. Actually, I am running Ubuntu 16.04, but bjam from 
libboost1.55-dev-tools was installed instead of the most recent 
available (libboost1.58-tools-dev). Likely a consequence of the 
successive upgrades of ubuntu. After the update to the latest available 
boost lib, I am now running Boost.Jam  Version 2014.03. I made several 
tries from scratch and the problem seems gone.
I also made some researches on the web to check which version(s) 
was(were) affected by the issue you mentioned in the other message, but 
the boost.build project migrated from trac to github, and I didn't 
retrieve the history of bugs, neither in trac nor in github.
Do you know the affected version(s) ?
