It seems like some bits of Boost, shared_ptr most likely, is using an instruction which is not
supported by the default flavour of MIPS gcc uses. The complete list of architectures is:

        mips1 mips2 mips3 mips4 mips32 mips32r2 mips64

Would you please try passing additional Boost.Build option 

        architecture=<XXX>

Where <XXX> is taken from the above list. Either pick whatever is right for your target,
or try them all. Let me know if this helps. If that does not help, use

        define=BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS

or 

        define=BOOST_SP_USE_PTHREADS

as appropriate. Those defines are documented in smart_prt documentation, I believe.

Thanks,
