Trying to build boost_1_39_0, but failure when attempting to build the boost libraries with the command ....

tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86_64/bjam --layout=system --build-type=complete install

get....

This works ok in 1.38.0 and 1.37.0.

This is as expected. system layout was fixed to use the naming that all other libraries on Unix have, without any variant tags. This is incompatible with building all possible variants. I suggest you drop --layout=system
