OK, I should have said I did do the ./bootstrap.sh while following

After more investigating, I see in scan.c, that there is
code to actually skip the block comment, but if so, then why
is the b2 *not* skipping the block comments in types/xml.jam and

There must be some minor mistake I'm making but it's not obvious yet :(
