This is as expected. The compiler binary is called "g++", so why do you expect "toolset=mingw" to be used?
Maybe because he has been using boost for some time? We used to have a mingw toolset, IIRC.
Yes, I once succeeded with a 'mingw' toolset, but that was an earlier version. IIRC, it generated '.a' files back then, but I am not sure. Also when I googled for help I found the 'mingw' tool discussed, and if I don't use 'layout=system' the libraries are decorated with 'mgw4.3', which is ussually a tool name. -- John
