What exactly did you try?
  .\bootstrap.bat
  .\b2.exe
when run from $BOOST_ROOT will always create stage/lib

In the past when I get these I am easily able to fix it by reordering the #includes, or deleting repeated #includes, etc.  But with a bunch of compiled code and headers I did not write I am not sure I can find the issue.
