Suggest you review recent Appveyor build logs from boostorg/format, for example:

​https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jeking3/format-bhjc4/build/1.0.100-master ​https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jeking3/format-bhjc4/build/job/lbo2e6k182vlfbaf

There are no issues running bootstrap or building under mingw right now. I'd think about upgrading to the latest boost, as 1.55 is quite old and will not get updated.

Shall we close as obsolete?
