layout=system is always creating symbolic links

Description

Currently, while building boost binary libraries using "layout=system runtime-link=shared target-os=linux", boost build always creates symbolic links without versioning pointing to the real shared libraries.

However, some filesystems don't support symbolic links.

There is anyway to ask to boost build to not create symbolic links and generate the shared libraries without versioning?

I'd like to have the same behavior as cross-building using x86_64-w64-mingw32, but for Linux.
