Finished.

Start octave-4.1.0+ CLI (bin/octave-cli.exe)

From octave prompt 
 cd <boost dir>
 start bash

From bash prompt
 gcc -v # confirm gcc-4.9.3 is active
 export PATH=$PATH:/c/msys64/usr/bin #activate msys2 tools
 ./bootstrap.sh # bootstrap

Then b2.exe is built. From bash prompt
  ./b2 install  --prefix=(boost install directory)
This makes only static libraries and those debug ones. If you want generate 
shared library, pleas use "link" option of boost.
