Hi

I'm some weeks trying to resolve a problem in static linking a boost
library. The compiler finds the library but it says that it is incompatible.
I already try to compile boost again with arm compiler, use boost 1_33_1 and
boost_1_42_0 but with no results. I think it's missing something but I can't
find what.

./configure -host=arm-eabi CC=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc
CXX=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ CXXFLAGS=-static
--with-boost=/usr/local/boost_1_42_0/
