Try setting the debug-symbol feature to on.  So in your Jamroot:

project
    : requirements
          <debug-symbols>on
    ;

That will actually add a pile of debug information. It probably is a better idea

I am just encountering this issue. Does Boost Build v2 have an existing means
for turning "strip symbols" on or off? If not, could this be added?

Do you mean something other than <debug-symbols>off vs. <debug-symbols>on?

I guess so. Note that other build system do not do complete strip in release configuration.
It's probably right, as it allows to get at least minimally useful backtraces.
So, I would propose to:

- don't strip by default
- [possibly] introduce a feature to request stripping

What do you think?
