Description
Hi!
I use CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS="-isysroot <...>" flag to pass system headers location to the compiler. b2 works fine with this and almost all boost libraries are compiled succesfully, except iostreams. When building iostreams with ZLIB/BZIP2, these nested builds fail due to missing isysroot option. How to fix zlib.jam/bzip2.jam to get it work with CFLAGS?

Research direction
Start by reading zlib.jam and bzip2.jam to trace how nested builds receive compiler flags. Reproduce the iostreams build with CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS containing an isysroot option, then verify that both nested builds receive the flags and complete successfully.
