Comment (by adfernandes@…):

 Okay - anybody have a preferred way to handle this? I figure the options
 are as follows:
 * disable 32-bit builds with an error (not good, since a lot of people
 build universal)
 * diable the `context` module completely until this gets fixed (probably
 easiest, but will probably '''never''' get fixed)
 * disable `context` only for 32-but builds (which means we can't use
 `bjam`'s built-in support for universal binaries, so we have to fake it
 with lipo, but then the `libboost_context` will be empty...

 Of course, the `context` module looks really interesting, so I don't
 really want to disable it.

 If anyone wants to chime in, please feel free. There's a free ice cream
 cone in it for you if you can figure out why the jamfile is failing... :-)
