Comment (by olli):

 make_i386_ms_pe_masm.obj is compiled from make_i386_ms_pe_masm.asm

 make_i386_ms_pe_masm.asm references _exit() (from C-library)

 as the linker output describes symbol  __exit (two underscores!) is
 unknown

 maybe something with the build-env is wron, especially because the runtime
 function __DllMainCRTStartup is also unresolved (boost.context does not
 use symbol DllMainCRTStartup() ).

 Maybe you mixed debug with release versions in the build-env?
