How do I build Boost.Log exported with bcp?

I'd like to use Boost.Log for my project, but I don't want to include the whole Boost library in my code repository. So I use bcp to copy just what I think is necessary to build Boost.Log from the Boost distribution in ../boost_1_67_0:

cd boost
bcp --boost=../boost_1_67_0/ log build config .

Then I run:

./bootstrap.sh
./b2

But this fails with the following messages:

predef.jam: No such file or directory
.../boost/tools/build/src/kernel/modules.jam:314: in modules.import
IMPORT error: rule "check" unknown in module "predef".
.../boost/tools/build/src/build/project.jam:1069: in import

.../boost/tools/build/src/kernel/bootstrap.jam:139: in boost-build

I'm running this on macOS.

Building Boost.Log requires also the Predef library:

cd boost
bcp --boost=../boost_1_67_0/ log build config predef .

Then run bootstrap.sh and b2 normally.
