x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ (native): Builds successfully.

arm-linux-androideabi-g++: Fails to link due to missing librt.

mipsel-linux-android-g++: Fails to link due to missing librt.

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++: Chokes on 
libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.S.

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++: Chokes on 
libs/context/src/asm/make_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.S.

clang++ (native): Builds successfully.

pnacl-clang++: Lots of errors, including:
   Unrecognized option: -shared
   ./boost/system/detail/error_code.ipp:120:16: error: assigning to 
'int' from incompatible type 'char *'
   ./boost/system/detail/error_code.ipp:261:10: error: duplicate case 
value: '104' and '__elast1' both equal '104'
   ./boost/chrono/detail/inlined/posix/process_cpu_clocks.hpp:31:33: 
error: use of undeclared identifier '_SC_CLK_TCK'
   ./boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp:62:23: error: no matching 
function for call to 'pthread_attr_getstacksize'

The failures for Android look serious but fixable.  The failures for 
mingw seem to only affect Boost.Context which is inherently 
non-portable, so I don't consider them serious.  The failures for pnacl 
look serious, but their sheer number probably makes fixing them for this 
release impractical.
