[boost] Fwd: Building Boost for MIPS platform

Hi,

I'm trying to build the boost serialization library for the embedded MIPS
platform (Everex RedHat) using the provided mipsel-linux gcc cross compiler
on a standard desktop (RedHat 9).

I can build it comfortably using gcc on the desktop but nothing works when I
use the mipsel-linux gcc cross compiler.

Here is what I tried....

/usr/local/mipsel-linux/g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1 -c
basic_iarchive.cpp

Any help would be appreciated. I need serialization on the embedded linux
badly.

Thanks.
