"or be authorized to use in some companies"

How can that be so ?
If they want you to compile stuff how can they not allow you the resources to do so ?

"dual boot"
You could use Virtual Machines - that's what I do for odd platforms.

Unhelpfully,
Richard.

You build 64-bit stuff (including boost if you wish) in 64-bit environment, 32-bit stuff (including boost if you wish) in a separate 32-bit environment. The environment is native for build tools, so you need no crosscompiling (-m32), no special library lookups. Google for 'linux 32-bit chroot' for more information.

But then you need two compilation environment which not everyone can get (or be authorized to use in some companies).
My point is that there shouldn't be a need for this: you can already compile for 64 or 32 bit with your compiler, only boost lacks a way to find the right binaries.
I myself can't use another environment at the moment. And I don't want to, I need to work with a single laptop from everywhere and don't have space and patience for dual boot.
