4096	limited support for detecting platform	olk	Vladimir Prus	"I some assembler code is required by a library - boost.build has some limited support to detect platform features.
For instance it is necessary to know for which architecture the lib should be build. The builtin properties <architecture> and <instruction-set> are optional properties (so a developer can not rely on it). Additinaly the binary format has to be known. Suggestion: new builtin property <linkage> with values like elf, windowspe, mach-o."	Feature Requests	closed	Boost 1.43.0	build	Boost 1.42.0	Showstopper	duplicate
