These are my results on building Boost 1.65.0 RC4 on the various platforms I’m interested in:
Build platform: Fedora 26 Workstation x86_64
Build toolset: GCC 7.1
Language mode: c++11
Bootstrap command: ./bootstrap.sh –prefix=/home/dev3rd/boost_1_65_0
Build command: ./b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="-std=c++11" install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Fedora 26 Workstation x86_64
Build toolset: GCC 7.1
Language mode: c++14
Bootstrap command: ./bootstrap.sh –prefix=/home/dev3rd/boost_1_65_0
Build command: ./b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="-std=c++14" install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Fedora 26 Workstation x86_64
Build toolset: GCC 7.1
Language mode: c++1z
Bootstrap command: ./bootstrap.sh –prefix=/home/dev3rd/boost_1_65_0
Build command: ./b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="-std=c++1z" install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Build toolset: Visual Studio 2017 (Community edition)
Language mode: default
Bootstrap command: .\bootstrap.bat msvc (Why the need to add msvc? If not, the bootstrap fails.)
Build command: .\b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release define=_HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Build toolset: Visual Studio 2017 (Community edition)
Language mode: c++14
Bootstrap command: .\bootstrap.bat msvc (Why the need to add msvc? If not, the bootstrap fails.)
Build command: .\b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="/std:c++14" define=_HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Build toolset: Visual Studio 2017 (Community edition)
Language mode: c++latest
Bootstrap command: .\b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="/std:c++latest" define=_HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC install
Build result: Success
Build platform: Solaris 11.3 x86_64 (No Oracle support)
Build toolset: Developer Studio 12.6 (No Oracle support)
Language mode: c++11
Bootstrap command: ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/export/home/dev3rd/boost_1_65_0 --with-toolset=sun
Build command: ./b2 link=shared runtime-link=shared address-model=64 threading=multi variant=release cxxflags="-std=c++11" linkflags="-std=c++11" install
Build result: Unsuccessful (Too many errors to enumerate, refer to attachment boost-devel-sol11i-c++11.zip which is a capture of the whole screen output of b2.)
Build platform: Solaris 11.3 x86_64 (No Oracle support)
Build toolset: Developer Studio 12.6 (No Oracle support)

Note: Oracle has acknowledged that the message “>> Assertion: (../lnk/initializer.cc, line 1865)” is the result of a compiler fault. The Boost.Optional and Boost.Python issues I have not been able to resolve.
What I have learned from building Boost 1.65.0 RC4:
1. The invocation of bootstrap on Windows has slightly changed.
2. The Boost.Log and Boost.Optional issues I got from the c++14 mode build on Solaris are identical to the issues I saw when building Boost 1.64.0 but the Boost.Python issues are different.

Subject: [Boost-users] Boost 1.65.0 Release Candidate 4
The fourth (and hopefully final) release candidates for the 1.65.0 release are now available at:
https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.65.0/source/
[ Note: The RC1s/RC2s/RC3s are in that directory, too - make sure you get the right files! ]
Changes since RC3:
* Fix a bug in Boost.Thread where timed waits were waiting for a very long time.
Changes since RC2:
* Fix a crashing bug in Boost.ASIO
* Fix a compilation error when including both
