No, it is not  a problem for me. I stumbled on the issue because of a
user of mine who probably used a weird/incomplete configuration for it's
boost/mpi packages (I suspect the mpi/c++ package is optional on his
platform).

That part was done by Doug Gregor. Do we have a Boost.Build expert here or shall I try to find someone to help us?

I am not an expert myself, I can look into it if nobody shows up, but it
will limited to the platform(s) I have access to (linux/openmpi).
