I'm trying to build boost from master, and on a clean checkout I'm getting

We now have an equivalent error report on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38433638/missing-jam-file-in-fresh-download-of-boost
And, as far as I can tell, the error message looks correct as I don't see a Jamfile in that directory. I do see a Jamroot.jam file though. But of course it's weird as the CI tests show no problems with that exact invocations:

There has never been a Jamfile in that directory, and frankly, why would there be (or at least why would we be looking for one)?
I confess I didn't add those tests though, so I don't pretend to understand the issue.
Did you get all the submodules? The error means that config is missing.
