Should this be considered a Boost.Build bug or a GSG doc bug? I.e., is this behavior intentional?

To the best of my knowledge, this is the behaviour V1 had. It seems somewhat reasonable to me, if --build-dir is though as 'place where intermediate products go'. So, I think GSG is to be updated.

OK. Is there a separate setting for --stage-dir ? It's almost as though what we want is

bjam --stage=stage-directory

with no target needed.

(In [62702]) Give the correct location for stagedir. Fixes #3280.

Replying to dave:

Currently stage will be build by default, so

bjam --stagedir=<stage directory>

works.
