[Boost-build] error while cross compiling for arm

Subject: [Boost-build] error while cross compiling for arm

Hi All,

I am trying to cross compile boost 1.61.0 to using arm cross toolcahin 
providded by ST SDK
my compiler version is  armv7-linux-gcc-4.8.3

I am following below steps as given by.

run ./bootstrap.sh
edited the  project-config.jam to include

if ! gcc in [ feature.values <toolset> ]
{
     using gcc : arm : 
/opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/armv7/bin/armv7-linux-g++ ;

project : default-build <toolset>gcc ;

  ./b2 --install --prefix=/opt/STM/STLinux-2.4/devkit/armv7/target/usr 
toolset=gcc-arm

My cross-compilation terminates with below error.

Please guide me how I go about it.
