Re: [Boost-build] Cannot build boost::serialization forx64(crosscompile)

Fact is that with that dependency I cannot successfully build the serialization library for x64 (cross-compile).
If the statement "This dependency only exists for testing.  It should not come into play when just building." is correct, then again my question: 
Is there a switch to start the whole build without any tests? Obviously they are integrated in the serialization build.

I start the build for ALL boost libraries, not a particular build.

Parameters (again) for bjam (in directory ${boostroot.dir}, which is a property in my ant script):
-sBOOST_ROOT=${boostroot.dir} link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi toolset=msvc release address-model=64 --stagedir=${boostroot.dir}/stage64 stage

This dependency only exists for testing.  It should not come into play when just building.
