As I tried to explain - there is no way. boost.context defines defaults for
<abi> and
<binary-format> depending on architecture  + operating system etc., for
instance in the Jamfile

binary-format:
default ELF
os == MACOSX => MACH-O
os == Windows => PE
os == AIX => XCOFF

abi:
default SYSV
os == Windows => MS
platform == ARM => AAPCS
platform == MIPS => O32

boost.build/boost.config do not provide other infos
