I would guess cross-compiling for ARM is more common than native compiling

for ARM, and removing this requirement should have no adverse effects in the native case, so what's the downside to removing it?

For cross compiling you have always to specify <abi> and <binary-format> because both properties can not be correctly determined in the case of cross compiling.

I don't follow. If I do not specify abi when cross-compiling to ARM, then: - Compiler does not care much, it just uses the default one - Boost.Build does not care either, since all ARM alternatives in boost.context have the same ABI What am I missing? Maybe I should submit a pull request, and you'll point out in which cases it will result in compilation failure or wrong compilation options? Thanks, Volodya
