Your .\b2 command should be finished off by "install", then you'll get in
C:\Boost (because that's what's your prefix a include, bin and a lib
directory. I use the following b2 line:

b2 -a -d+2 -j2 --toolset=clang-win --abbreviate-paths --prefix=%PREFIX%
--build-dir=c:\boost-build --without-python --without-mpi
--without-graph_parallel --disable-filesystem2 -o%HOME%\clang_log.log
"-sZLIB_SOURCE=%HOME%\zlib-1.2.8" "-sBZIP2_SOURCE=%HOME%\bzip2-1.0.6"
variant=debug variant=release threading=multi link=static
runtime-link=static architecture=x86 address-model=64
instruction-set=haswell install

I suggest that you, apart from the "install", add "--abbreviate-paths" as
well, as some stuff might be failing due to excessively long path names
[longer than 260 characters, which you on Win10 could fix at the OS-level].

There should be 3 stacktrace libs.
