[generally, boost.build questions are better asked
a boost-build_at_[hidden] mailing list]

Are you 100% sure you've placed user-config.jam in a location that
Boost.Build looks in? You can use --debug-configuration option
to print the location of user-config.jam that is actually loaded.

Also, the above is not fully correct, per documentation you should have:

        using gcc : : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ;

If you use:

        using g++ : .......

you should see an error, and if you don't see it it really means
some other user-config.jam is loaded.
