Description

In my [doc/Jamfile](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/blob/1e8526797e3327fd1bed7c2ace092fad5fd5ee74/doc/Jamfile#L12-L13), I have this

```
.doxygen = [ doxygen.name ] ;
.doxygen ?= doxygen ;
```

On Ubuntu 20.04, I'm observing the Doxygen initialisation failure:

On Ubuntu 18.04, `b2` succeeds to build the dox

Both environments,
- WSL 2
- using the same version of Doxygen and Boost.Build
- using Boost superproject reset to `develop` branch with latest `b2` bootstrapped
- building `libs/gil/doc` having the `libs/gil` submodule also at `develop` branch

This is a peculiar issue but I have no idea what is going on, so documenting it here.
