Building boost 1.72 with arm 64 bit gcc compiler

Hi,

I am trying to build boost 1.72 with arm 64 bit compiler. I am seeing the
error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources
Although, after getting this error, compilation looks to succeed, but I am
not sure if it did properly or not.

I have this line in the project-config.jam:
using gcc : arm : aarch64-fsl-linux-g++
--sysroot=/sysroots/aarch64-fsl-linux ;

After running b2, I get the following output:
./b2 toolset=gcc-arm
Performing configuration checks

    - default address-model    : 64-bit
    - default architecture     : arm

Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

error: No best alternative for libs/context/build/asm_sources
