Not to discourage you, but support request won't work. Getting a new toolset 
added absolutely requires somebody with access to that compiler, at least
to run Boost.Build V2 regression tests with that compiler and investigate
failures. And so far, you're the first one with such access ;-)

That said, usable toolset module is not so much work.

The lambda library is header-only, so you can try by hand. If the compiler
can cope with the lambda library, you can assume it's good enough.
