Thank you for pointing out the toolset property for b2.  Adding that did indeed get me most of the way there.  Now it gets this far:

======================

Not everything built, but I’m much closer.  I did still get the "No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources” and lots of "next alternative: required properties:…not matched” messages.  I only saw warnings in the compile output, no errors.  I’m not sure how to figure out what failed to build and what is missing:

+ export BUILD_TYPE=complete
+ BUILD_TYPE=complete
+ export LIBRARY_NAME=versioned
+ LIBRARY_NAME=versioned
+ export LIBRARY_TARGETS=shared,static
+ LIBRARY_TARGETS=shared,static
+ ./b2 -j 12 --build-type=complete --layout=versioned --target=shared,static toolset=pgi install
Performing configuration checks

    - default address-model    : 64-bit
    - default architecture     : x86
error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources
    next alternative: required properties: <abi>aapcs <address-model>32 <architecture>arm <binary-format>elf <threading>multi <toolset>clang
        not matched
