Marius,

Did you try:

        b2 hardcode-dll-paths=false

? What's the exact command line you've used for building?

Also, I am not sure what's the exact problem you're having. While using host paths for cross-compiling is certainly
wrong, I would have expected dynamic linker to just ignore paths that are not valid.
