Typically, you pass name of recognised/known toolset via command line
https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/bootstrap.sh#L154

But, I doubt/don't know you can pass full path.
Instead, you can try to specify the special `cc` toolset and
point to your compiler via the CC environment variable:

https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/engine/build.sh#L37-L40
