Brief problem description

Compiling boost.build 1.78 acccording to the instructions in https://www.bfgroup.xyz/b2/manual/release/index.html#bbv2.installation does not provide a $PREFIX/bin/b2 binary.

Steps to reproduce the issue

./bootstrap.sh
./b2 --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/boost-build/1.78/ install

Actual behavior summary

When I run the above steps (as seen in CI) no b2 binary is generated in the bin directory

Expected behavior summary

$PREFIX/bin/b2 should exist

Can you post the output of running: ./b2 --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/boost-build/1.78/ install --debug-configuration -d+2

With the latest checkout it now works. Tag 4.7.2 does not deploy a b2 binary, but I don't think that is relevant anymore. I'll close this now.
