component None → Building Boost

Try following.

Append below codes to project-config.jam

module gcc
{
    import toolset ;
    toolset.flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>x86/<address-model>32_64 : "-mx32" ;
}

Run b2 with address-model feature.
```
$ ./b2 address-model=32_64
```

In an attempt to have less magic I added the flags line to gcc.jam in build:

diff --git a/src/tools/gcc.py b/src/tools/gcc.py
index 270ca97..f31f4ef 100644
--- a/src/tools/gcc.py
+++ b/src/tools/gcc.py

+flags('gcc', 'OPTIONS', ['<architecture>x86/<address-model>32_64'], ['-mx32'])
 flags('gcc', 'OPTIONS', ['<architecture>x86/<address-model>64'], ['-m64'])

Then passed address-model=32_64 to my externally built jam (we're cross-compiling).

It's passing less stupid options now:

Now it fails differently:

libs/context/src/unsupported.cpp:7:2: error: #error "platform not supported"
 #error "platform not supported"

Presumably because this new 32_64 address-model doesn't match the build rules for context which use a 64-bit address-model but abi to mark x32:

# X86_64/SYSV/X32
alias asm_context_sources
   : [ make asm/make_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.o : asm/make_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.S : @gas64 ]
     [ make asm/jump_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.o : asm/jump_x86_64_sysv_elf_gas.S : @gas64 ]

   : <abi>x32

   ;

Ahh, I misunderstood about address-model feature, 32_64 is for the OS X fat binary at this time.

Hmm, it needs changing both of build and context, build should provide 'abi' feature (or address-model) and update setup-address-model, and context should change that requirements.
