The Boost config system isn't detecting that your std C++ lib is libstdc++3, 
it uses:

#include <utility>

#if whatever...
#elif defined(__GLIBCPP__) || defined(__GLIBCXX__)
// must be libstdc++3...
// etc
for this purpose.

Now I know that "real" mingw32 on win32, does define one or other of these 
macros (depending upon it's version), so I'm perplexed why it wouldn't be 
picking this up when cross-compiling under Linux.  Maybe by running the 
compiler in "verbose" mode you can figure out what's happening, is there any 
chance that your compiler's include paths are setup incorrectly?

Perplexed yours,
John Maddock.
