Thanks so much for the clarification, Doug.
So my fear stand corrected. Intel compilers are marginalized. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but the documentation (especially bjam's) give the impression that boost can cover all major platforms. The reality however shows a different picture.
If you have suggestion on how to approach this problem please do let me know.
Boost is an organization of volunteers. When many volunteers are interested in making Boost work well with a compiler or platform, it will work well there. Historically, there hasn't been all that much interest in Intel's compiler on Linux, and support for it has suffered. The way to improve the situation is to get more interest in this compiler, which may involving recruiting more volunteers and may involve submitting patches to fix problems as they come up. - Doug
