'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
You need to pass address-model=32. The default is now 64 bit (inferred from PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 AFAICS), and not all Appveyor MSVC versions support 64 bit.
Default address-model and architecture get misdetected as "none" in some cases and 64-bit x86 in others on the same machine. This is a regression in Boost.Build that appeared quite some time ago. https://github.com/boostorg/build/issues/659 As you said, the workaround is to explicitly specify these features in the command line.
