Comment (by anonymous):

 I managed to build it following these steps:

 1. Installed MinGW stable (mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe) to C:\MinGW
 2. Added zlib (get libz-1.2.7-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma and
 libz-1.2.7-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.lzma from
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/zlib/zlib-1.2.7-1/)
 3. Extract boost_1_54_0.zip to C:\MinGW (after it's finished it should be
 in C:\MinGW\boost_1_54_0)
 4. Open a command prompt (cmd, not MSYS), add the MinGW bin directory to
 the PATH, build and install Boost.Build
 SET PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
 cd C:\MinGW\boost_1_54_0\tools\build\v2
 bootstrap.bat
 b2 install --prefix=C:/MinGW/b2

 5. Build Boost
 ..\b2\bin\b2 -j %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% -a toolset=gcc --disable-icu
 --without-context --without-coroutine --build-type=complete stage

 6. Wait for something between 40 minutes to 2 hours and you should have
 everything ready in C:\MinGW\boost_1_54_0\stage\lib
