Description Michael Seifert 2014-09-02 10:04:21 UTC 
dev-libs/boost-1.55.0-r2 does not cross-compile on MinGW toolchains.

Therefore, I created a patch that sets the "target-os" and "threadapi" options for b2, depending on the current CHOST.

Compilation on x86_64-w64-mingw32 works with USE="nls static-libs threads (-context) -debug -doc -icu -mpi -python -tools".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. x86_64-w64-mingw32-emerge =dev-libs/boost-1.55.0-r2

Actual Results:  
Emerge fails

Expected Results:  
Emerge finishes successfully

boost-1.55.0-r2-mingw.patch

Sets target-os=windows and threadapi=win32 when compiling for Windows targets.
