 Hello,

 I tried to download and build boost with mingw on Debian.

 I added

 using gcc : : i686-w64-mingw32-c++ ;

 in project-config.jam

 However, the compiler flag used is -pthread instead of -mthreads. I
 changed ./tools/build/v2/tools/gcc.jam to use the correct flag in the
 default case but still gcc warns about -fPIC.

 Also many files fail to compile because they are searching for pthread.h
 which is not present.

 I guess the problem here is that the jam script does not infer that when
 using mingw the target is windows.
