12242,boost 1.60 build issue with Intel C++ compiler for MacOS,melanie.blower@…,olli,"When building boost 1.60 with Intel C++ 16.0 compiler for MacOS, users have encountered a 'failed Jamfile' issue which is due to incorrect arguments passed to assembler. This problem can be corrected by patching libs/context/build/Jamfile.v2 to add a rule for the Intel toolset (I work for Intel on the Intel C++ compiler). Thanks and best regards, Melanie Blower

Here's the symptom:
Jamfile.gas64 ../boost_build/boost/bin.v2/libs/context/build/intel-darwin-16.0/release/threading-multi/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_macho_gas.o
clang: error: unsupported option '--64'
clang: error: no input files

The attached patch has passed boost regression testing with the Intel C++ compiler for MacOS and corrects the problem
