I am not sure I understand your concern. gcc is generally available for
arm, see for example:

   http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription?@template=lite

This is fairly recent G++ so I would not expect any issues with templates.

In 1.43 and trunk, Boost.Build should have no problems whatsoever doing arm-linux
cross compilation, see docs. I believe a few folks on IRC got Boost compiled
successfully for this target.
