I'm not sure if this is the official way to do it
(if there is actually one), but it is how I got it
to work:

 > ./configure --prefix=../../boost-1.34.0 
--without-libraries=python,iostreams,test

Configure will create a 'user-config.jam' file. Edit it
to add your compiler. Here's mine:

    > cat user-config.jam
    # Boost.Build Configuration
    # Automatically generated by Boost configure

    # Compiler configuration
    using gcc : : arm-linux-g++ ;

Then just run 'bjam' and check back the next day ;)

Hope this helps,
