[Boost-users] Need help configuring a toolset for building Boost

I've manage to build Boost (1_35_0) on my windows/cygwin machine using gcc
(version 3.4.4) and it builds the threads dll such that I'm able to compile
and run an application on windows that tests the threads.

Now I'd like to be able to build using a cross-compiler
(arm-xscale-linux-gnu-gcc version 4.1.0) but I'm not sure how to get it to
recognize the tools.

I was able to build for windows/cygwin with the following command:

> bjam --build-dir=tmp/build-boost --toolset=gcc threading=multi
> target-os=cygwin threadapi=pthread stage

Changing 'gcc' to 'arm-xscale-linux-gnu-gcc' and 'cygwin' to 'linux' didn't
work.  Here is the error I'm getting:

arm.jam: No such file or directory
