 Hello,

 I'm trying to cross-compile boost 1.58 from linux for mingw from tarball
 for archlinux (aur.archlinux.org/packages/mingw-w64-boost/).

 I'm stuck when linking boost.coroutine because I've got undefined
 references to symbols in boost.context (make_fcontext, jump_fcontext):
 {{{
 gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/coroutine/build/gcc-mingw-mingw64/release/binary-
 format-pe/target-os-windows/threadapi-win32/threading-multi
 /libboost_coroutine-mt.dll.a
 bin.v2/libs/coroutine/build/gcc-mingw-mingw64/release/binary-format-pe
 /target-os-windows/threadapi-win32/threading-
 multi/detail/coroutine_context.o:coroutine_context.cpp:(.text+0x4a):
 undefined reference to `_imp__make_fcontext'
 bin.v2/libs/coroutine/build/gcc-mingw-mingw64/release/binary-format-pe
 /target-os-windows/threadapi-win32/threading-
 multi/detail/coroutine_context.o:coroutine_context.cpp:(.text+0xc7):
 undefined reference to `_imp__jump_fcontext'
 }}}

 It looks exactly like this issue github.com/boostorg/context/pull/12 that
 was fixed for AIX.

 Prior to the build I applied the fedora patch used to successfully build
 previous versions of boost for mingw: pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mingw-
 boost.git/tree/boost-mingw.patch, but maybe it needs updating.
 Also I wonder why it wasn't submited or accepted upstream.

 Regards,
 xan
