Comment (by olli):

 If you look into context/src/asm you should see files for GNU AS:[[BR]]
 jump_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm/make_i386_ms_pe_gas.asm
 jump_x86_64_ms_pe_gas.asm/make_x86_64_ms_pe_gas.asm[[BR]]
 if you build with --toolset=gcc one set of the above should be selected.
 cross compiling is special because boost.build has to build boost.context
 for Windows
 (e.g. os.name has to return 'NT') othersie the build will fail.[[BR]]
 You can check the values of the build properties if you apply --debug-
 building at b2/bjam command line.

 for instance the required build properties look like:
 <abi>ms <address-model>64 <architecture>x86 <binary-format>pe
