Just checked, and Math has out-of-date failures from teeks99-01a-win2008-64on64 as well.

I am not sure if this is related, but this is the response from Niklas, who is hosting the regression on QNX:

The symbolic links in $BOOST_ROOT/boost created by "bjam headers" before

the build starts point to the wrong files:

Can anyone help me understand where it is controlled which links are pointed to which files when I run 'b2 headers'?

I show the same thing on mine...all the symlinks under boost point to a copy of the same files that reside in the convert repository: https://github.com/boostorg/convert/tree/develop/include/boost/optional Tom
