boost.context has to compile assemblerfiles/code. For this purpose it has
asm files for combinations of architecture, abi, binary-format and
address-model. The Jamfile of boost.context has rules for selecting the
correct ASM file. In the case of cross compiling the rules get the wrong
data. Theuser has to overwrite abi and the other properties guessed by
context's Jamfile.
