Comment (by Vincent.Riera@…):

 Yes, I'm cross-compiling for MIPS32 architecture, so the ABI is o32. From
 your comment I understand that the boost build system is using the host's
 ABI instead of the target's one.

 If I pass the "abi=o32" option as you suggested, it works. But the thing
 is that the build system should be smart enough to detect when I'm cross
 compiling and using the target's ABI instead of the host's ABI.

 That problem doesn't happen on other architectures. I have tried cross-
 compiling for powerpc and arm, and both of them worked fine.
