"source code"? I think that's not relevant, did you mean "compiler binaries"?

This builds Boost with the system compiler, right?

Apparently, libc that uclinux compiler has is not 2.0. And in fact, I doubt 
that your uclinux compiler targets the same processor that your host gcc, and 
even then, mixing files built by system compiler and uclinux compiler is not 
going to work.

Boost.Build does not have a supported solution for cross-compiles, but you can 
try using

        export PATH=$DIR/bin:$PATH

before building boost. Make sure that Boost is built with uclinux compiler.
