Boost Exception is a header-only lib, except for the non-intrusive
exception_ptr support that is provided for some MSVC versions, which is off
by default.

Right, you don't need to link to this library. It's needed only if you
#define BOOST_ENABLE_NON_INTRUSIVE_EXCEPTION_PTR which you probably do not,
and certainly should not on Fedora, because the non-intrusive exception_ptr
support is currently implemented only on some versions of MSVC.

Does that mean that the compilation of boost_exception could/should be
disabled for compilers other than MSVC?

That might be a good idea -- if someone knows how to setup the Jamfile
conditionally, I have no problem with that.
