Perhaps --abbreviate-paths should be the default behavior for bjam on Windows now, given the default options have broken more than one environment (this is not the first email with this subject in the last month).

Or we could make it check whether the path exceeds PATH_MAX and automatically abbreviate or hash it. Here for instance: https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/build/property-set.jam#L5... we could make hash-maybe hash if the length of $(path) exceeds PATH_MAX.
