Anyone else found that b2 headers in 1.56 randomly misses things to hard link on Windows?
Already reported by Eric in http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215266.php
If you run it four or five times it eventually hard links everything through monte-carlo, but it is a bit annoying.
See my reply in http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/07/215276.php for more details. Short:
It seems that the hardlinks for the directories created in the first run are replaced with new directories containing file hardlinks in the second run. This sometimes fails horrible.
The first run creates all files. The next runs create a big pile... I send this to the Boost.Build mailing list too. As 1.56.0 should come with pregenerated headers, this should not be a showstopper.
