This is how the file was created:

BOOST_WITHOUT_FLAGS_COMMASEPERATED += $(subst
$(space),$(comma),$(strip $(BOOST_WITHOUT_FLAGS)))
BOOST_FLAGS += $(if $(BOOST_WITHOUT_FLAGS_COMMASEPERATED),
--without-libraries=$(BOOST_WITHOUT_FLAGS_COMMASEPERATED))

define BOOST_CONFIGURE_CMDS
        (cd $(@D) && ./bootstrap.sh $(BOOST_FLAGS))
        echo "using gcc : $(TARGET_CC_VERSION) : $(TARGET_CXX) :
<cxxflags>\"$(TARGET_CXXFLAGS)\" <linkflags>\"$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)\" ;" >
$(@D)/user-config.jam
        echo "" >> $(@D)/user-config.jam
endef

And this is it's content:using gcc : arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
(crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-2012.02-20120222 - Linaro GCC 2012.02)

: <cxxflags>" -pipe -Os  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" <linkflags>"" ;
