Please follow the suggestions at:

        http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/crosscompile.html

It's not presently possible to specify vxworks as target-os. I am not familiar
with that OS, so depending on how different it is from linux, you might want to
either:

        - Use target-os=linux
        - Modify tools/builtin.jam to include 'vxworks' in the .os-names variable,
      and maybe modify files in tools/type to use right file extensions for
          vxworks

HTH,
Volodya
