3. .\bootstrap
4. .\b2 headers variant=release --build-dir=..\out\x86rel address-model=32
5. .\b2 variant=release --build-dir=..\out\x86rel address-model=32
6. .\b2 -j16 variant=release --build-dir=..\out\x86rel libs\locale\test

Yes this is currently a known issue, the Boost.Locale testsuite is known to fail on various platforms due to changes to the toolchains not accounted for in the tests. In particular this is a duplicate of #71. Will be working on this soon, but no ETA yet.
