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

Based on some suggestions I found online from others having similar errors, I edited tools/build/src/tools/common.jam to comment out these lines (977-980): 

    # From GCC 5, versioning changes and minor becomes patch
#    if $(tag) = gcc && [ numbers.less 4 $(version[1]) ]
#    {
#        version = $(version[1]) ;
#    }

This results in the following failure, which I’ve truncated because it’s really long:
