Support Request -- boost 1.58 bootstrap.sh failed on SunOS 5.10

[chenbo369@…]

I cannot even generate b2 while compiling boost 1.58 since bootstrap.sh failed at very early stage. But it is ok while compiling boost 1.57

error message: -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc...

Failed to build Boost.Build build engine Consult 'bootstrap.log' for more details

bootstrap.log: ./build.sh: syntax error at line 147: `BOOST_JAM_CC=$' unexpected

Trying to bootstrap 1.61.0, also on "SunOS" 5.10, I ran into much the same problem:

./build.sh: syntax error at line 135: `machine=$' unexpected

... which I solved with:
