That's a misuse of the compiler I believe, you shouldn't need to set the 
stdlib explicitly like that, just try:

cxxflags=-std=c++14 linkflags=-std=c++14

and linking to the correct library should be taken care of for you (by 
the the compiler, nothing to do with bjam).

If you want to see what command line options bjam is creating use the 
-d2 option.

Also suggest you cd into libs/config/test and run:

bjam <options> -d2 config_info

config_info being the closest to a hello-world app we have, and 
helpfully prints out a bunch of diagnostic info that looks like this: 
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/oracle-intel-S2-12-5_next-cpp11-boost-bin-v2-libs-config-test-config_info-test-sun-12-5_next_cpp11-release.html

You'll find that info in config_info.output under 
bin.v2/libs/config/....   it's a useful way to verify that the build 
options you're using are really doing what you think they are.

HTH, John.
