I needed some small patches for building the Boost libs on a 
Debian-based system which is using GCC 3.4.4 toolchain (CodeSourcery ARM 
2005q3-2). Target devices are Nokia Internet Tablets.

See attached patches.

Q: To optimize for the target CPU, I added the following line to

tools/build/v2/user-config.jam

using gcc : : : <compileflags>-mcpu=arm1136jf-s <compileflags>-mfpu=vfp 
<compileflags>-mhard-float <compileflags>-mfloat-abi=softfp ;

However, when building I only see gcc.compile.c++
as compile command. How do I know if the options are actually used?

Thx,
