note the check of C++11 mutex in your output

Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

- symlinks supported : yes

...

- C++11 mutex : yes

that means that boost.context will/should use std-thread library instead of boost.thread

the question is why boost.build evaluates the feature-check of C++11-thread to true and still compiles/linkes with boost.thread. I got it. The feature-check build target 'config/checks//cxx11_hdr_mutex' actually try to include <mutex> and compile it via [1] regardless of whether BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_MUTEX will be defined or not.
