b2 error while trying to configure Boost 1.67.0 with MinGW.

Steps to reproduce:

[boost_1_67_0]> bootstrap.bat gcc

[boost_1_67_0]> b2 target-os=windows -a link=static threading=multi variant=debug,release --layout=tagged toolset=gcc --user-config=C:/.../boost_1_67_0/boost.user.jam --with-system

Where boost.user.jam content:

using gcc
  :
  : "C:/.../mingw-w64/x86_64-7.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1/mingw64/bin/g++.exe" -std=c++17
  : <archiver>"C:/.../mingw-w64/x86_64-7.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1/mingw64/bin/ar.exe"

Regression note: Same configuration worked fine with Boost 1.64.0

The simplest workaround is to pass cxxstd=17 to b2 instead of hard-coding it in the toolset initialization.

It looks like the quotes on the command passed to SHELL are broken somehow.

I think "-std' is not recognized as an internal or external command is just a warning or unrelated message. E.g. I have tried to add -fvisibility=hidden in the same way and got this message too, however Boost builds fine.

Thank you for your contributions. Main development of B2 has moved to https://github.com/bfgroup/b2 This issue has been automatically marked as "transition" to indicate the potential for needing transition to the new B2 development project.
