SAFESEH is irrelevant on x64 (Windows) systems because exception handlers are table-based (stored in PDATA) -> it is not implicit on x64 systems.

Please forget about the text in the parenthesis. The trouble occurs on MSVC 32-bit compilations when SAFESEH is enabled. I can confirm that linking only succeeds when I add "safeseh" to the ml options.

You are using MSVC which itself uses MASM to compile assembler files. If you require additional compiler flags than you have to apply those flags at b2/bjam command line (maybe cxxflags). If this does not work because /SAFESEH is not passed to MASM by MSVC than this is an issue of boost.build (and requires an feature request for boost.build).
