Hmm, I was guessing the location of libbacktrace (since obviously my
linux systems don't have it), don't know what other platforms may have it.

libs/stacktrace/build/Jamfile.v2 seems to be the file in boost-libs that
controls the building of libboost_stacktrace_backtrace.  Not sure if the
<target-os>linux: there is a requirement for the whole thing or just a
constraint on the requirement for libdl
