Boost build broken by update

Question

After the recent update boost build does not work.
My ~/user-config.jam is empty.
main.cpp:
int main (void) { return 0; }
Jamroot:
exe main : main.cpp ;
Build:
# bjam --debug-generators
*** construct EXE
from { main.cpp.CPP }
properties: <main-target-type>EXE
find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
trying type EXE
there are generators for this type
trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
*** 0 viable generators
warn: Unable to construct ./main
find-viable-generators target-type= EXE property-set=
trying type EXE
there are generators for this type
trying generator unix.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
trying generator gcc.link ( LIB OBJ -> EXE )
error: no generators were found for type 'EXE'
error: and the requested properties
error: make sure you've configured the needed tools
See http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/configuration.html
To debug this problem, try the --debug-generators option.

IMHO, report a bug!
FYI, I can reproduce your problem with current boost 1.54.0-4 package. The Boost SVN's version of Boost.Build works like charm.
