b2 is completely irrelevant to the question of auto-linking (unless you're using it to build your app as well, but nobody ever does that).
Well, "completely irrelevant" might have been a step too far.
You do of course have to run b2 with compatible settings to your eventual usage such that it builds the libraries with the right filenames.
Indeed. I can now confirm that at least with boost 1.73.0 autolinking works as expected and it was built with the same arguments that I passed to b2 when I compiled boost 1.70.0 (which does not support autolinking with clang). So as long as I use boost > 1.70.0 it seems to work as expected. A. Joël Lamotte
