Jonathan,
I presume you should pass some compiler or linker options when building
Boost and you already know what option. Then, please 

        http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html

where you'll find the syntax to use to pass such options. Let me know if this 
helps.
