SOLUTION: Add "--ignore-site-config" option to depends/packages/boost.mk file where ./b2 is called. This will save gentoo users a headache.

I can confirm the same problem on Gentoo and the provided solution does work.

@VERTlG0 thanks for reporting.

@ch4ot1c did you make the necessary pull request to fix this?

[ch4ot1c]

No, but again:
