I currently trying to cross-compile Boost 1.64.0 on Windows 7 (64bit) for the Raspberry Pi (running Jessie) using the Raspberry SysGCC 4.9.2 Toolchain and MinGW 6.3.0.
I installed everything to the following directories:
- Boost to C:\Boost\1.64.0
- SysGCC to C:\SysGCC\Raspberry
- MinGW to C:\MinGW\6.3.0
Added the bin folders of SysGCC and MinGW to the global PATH variable:
- C:\SysGCC\Raspberry\bin
- C:\MinGW\6.3.0\mingw32\bin
And created a user-config.jam with the following content in my home directory (see GCC configuration):

# This file is used to configure your Boost.Build installation. You can modify
# this file in place, or you can place it in a permanent location so that it
# does not get overwritten should you get a new version of Boost.Build. See:
#
# http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/overview/configuration.html
#
# for documentation about possible permanent locations.
# This file specifies which toolsets (C++ compilers), libraries, and other
# tools are available. Often, you should be able to just uncomment existing
# example lines and adjust them to taste. The complete list of supported tools,
# and configuration instructions can be found at:
#
# http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference/tools.html
#
# This file uses Jam language syntax to describe available tools. Mostly,
# there are 'using' lines, that contain the name of the used tools, and
# parameters to pass to those tools -- where parameters are separated by
# semicolons. Important syntax notes:
#
# - Both ':' and ';' must be separated from other tokens by whitespace
# - The '\' symbol is a quote character, so when specifying Windows paths you
# should use '/' or '\\' instead.
#
# More details about the syntax can be found at:

Now to create Boost.Build with MinGW and build Boost with SysGCC i'm running these commands in a administrator command prompt:
cd C:\Boost\1.64.0
bootstrap.sh gcc --without-libraries=python,context,coroutine,coroutine2
b2 toolset=gcc-4.9 host-os=windows target-os=linux architecture=arm address-model=32 link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi threadapi=pthread --build-type=complete --build-dir=boost-build --stagedir=stage
Bootstrap runs fine (just some warnings), but b2 freezes after configuration (notice: using gcc libraries):

Any suggestions? :-)
