I originally put that bug in.  Below is my fix.  I don't know if this is completely proper as I don't check path-to-out LOCATE but it seems to work for me:

Open symlink.jam in /usr/share/boost-build/ and make the following changes in the "rule ln" code section:
	
		Replace:
		
			# Remember the path to make the link relative to where the symlink is located.
				local path-to-source = [ path.relative-to
					[ path.make [ on $(<) return $(LOCATE) ] ]
					[ path.make [ on $(>) return $(LOCATE) ] ] ] ;

		With:
		
			local path-to-out = [ on $(<) return $(LOCATE) ] ;
			local path-to-in = [ on $(>) return $(LOCATE) ] ;

			if ! $(path-to-in)
			{
				path-to-in = [ on $(>) return $(SEARCH) ] ;
			}

			local path-to-source = [ path.relative-to
				[ path.make $(path-to-out) ]
				[ path.make $(path-to-in) ] ] ;
				
	This will fix the problem by allowing the $(SEARCH) var to be used if $(LOCATE)
	is empty.

Phillip,

I don't quite remember the context, do you have an easy reproduction recipe?
