Unable to build iostream with zlib and bzip2 for iphone

[limbolily]

I use conan-center-index boost recipe for iphone boost building.The recipe finally output this command line:

b2 target-os=iphone architecture=arm address-model=64 binary-format=mach-o abi=aapcs --layout=system --user-config=/Users/limbo/.conan/data/boost/1.70.0/conan/stable/source/source_subfolder/tools/build/user-config.jam -sNO_ZLIB=0 -sNO_BZIP2=0 -sNO_LZMA=1 -sNO_ZSTD=1 boost.locale.iconv=on boost.locale.icu=off threading=multi link=static variant=release --without-python toolset=clang-darwin linkflags="-stdlib=libc++" pch=on cxxflags="-fPIC -stdlib=libc++ -mios-version-min=14.0 -DBOOST_AC_USE_PTHREADS -DBOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -fembed-bitcode" install --prefix=/Users/limbo/.conan/data/boost/1.70.0/conan/stable/package/529b6315d7b1db213c2e0211bde7d715f8837d72 -j4 --abbreviate-paths --debug-configuration --build-dir="/Users/limbo/.conan/data/boost/1.70.0/conan/stable/build/529b6315d7b1db213c2e0211bde7d715f8837d72

It's failed to add bzip2.cpp and zlib.cpp to the iostream target because ac.check-library error.In the config.log file,it shows that linking a simple exe with zlib failed due to "--start-group" flag.

If I remove "Wl,--start-group", "-Wl,-Bstatic", "-Wl,-Bdynamic", "-lrt", "-Wl,--end-group" flags, the command above successfully output the correct executable.I'm not familiar with b2,but I'm curious about how these flags come out.
