I have been trying to get a static library for boost_thread to be built but have so far been unable to. When running:

./b2 toolset=gcc-arm target-os=linux --with-threads

The results show 2 skipped which are libboost_thread.a and libboost_system.a. I have all the shared objects built but can't seem to get around this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
