I took your advice and compared a real build that worked using CMake
(using a simple test cpp file) and what I got from b2.

Here is the command line used to build the sample app using CMake.
Note that the compilation succeeded:

C:\android\ndk\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe
--sysroot=C:/android/ndk/platforms/android-15/arch-arm

C:/android/ndk/sources/android/support/include -isystem

CMakeFiles\ndk_test.dir\main.cpp.o.d -o
CMakeFiles/ndk_test.dir/main.cpp.o -c ../main.cpp

And here is the command line from b2:

"C:/android/ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++"

"libs\atomic\src\lockpool.cpp"

The build for boost still fails. Note I also passed the -H option, so
I could see the include searches performed by clang as it was building
boost. The output is long, but I've included it below. Can anyone help
me identify why boost still won't build?
