Yes, that's what should be happening (using the mingw cross compiler).
The auto-detection seems to be mixing up the system gcc with the cross
compiler, and boost doesn't use ./configure, so you have to figure out
how boost jam works (not that configure is any easier, just more
familiar). The log files are almost identical and there's nothing in
tools/jam/src/build.sh that refers to architecture. A tricky one.
