I don't understand your reason for doing this. As far as I know,
bootstrap.sh just builds the b2 executable, which can then invoke any
toolset to actually build boost. So, what you bootstrap with is irrelevant
to what you actually build boost with, because the resulting b2 should have
identical functionality regardless of what was used to compile it.
