Hi 

I have a C++11 compiler:
[alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ icpc --version
icpc (ICC) 2021.3.0 20210609
Copyright (C) 1985-2021 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.

[alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ 

I can use it to build b2:

[alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ icpc --version
icpc (ICC) 2021.3.0 20210609

[alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ ./tools/build/src/engine/build.sh --cxx=icpc
...
### Using 'cxx' toolset. >>> Why cxx ?

But bootstrap.sh fails to see it:
alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux
Building B2 engine..
A C++11 capable compiler is required for building the B2 engine.
Toolset 'intel-linux' does not appear to support C++11.
...
** Note, the C++11 capable compiler is _only_ required for building the B2
** engine. The B2 build system allows for using any C++ level and any other
** supported language and resource in your projects.
...
You can specify the toolset as the argument, i.e.:
    ./build.sh [options] gcc

Toolsets supported by this script are:
    acc, clang, como, gcc, intel-darwin, intel-linux, kcc, kylix, mipspro,
    pathscale, pgi, qcc, sun, sunpro, tru64cxx, vacpp
## And then a lot of comment regarding build.sh which we did not called ourselve so not very usefull

Failed to build B2 build engine
[alainm_at_zztop boost_1_77_0]$ 

Any idea of what went wrong ?

Thanks
