boost for android building boost log

Question

I am trying to build boost 1.54 for android. I am able to do it for date_time, filesystem, regex, program_options, signals, system and thread libraries of boost. But if I add boost log library among these, build fails as saying 'failed updating 8 targets'.

I appended following lines to my user-config.jam

import os ;

androidNDKRoot = C:/android-ndk-r8e ; # put the relevant path
 using gcc : android :
     $(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++ :
     <compileflags>--sysroot=$(androidNDKRoot)/platforms/android-8/arch-arm
     <compileflags>-mthumb
     <compileflags>-Os
     <compileflags>-fno-strict-aliasing
     <compileflags>-O2
     <compileflags>-DNDEBUG
     <compileflags>-g
     <compileflags>-lstdc++
     <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.7/include
     <compileflags>-I$(androidNDKRoot)/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.7/libs/armeabi/include
     <compileflags>-D__GLIBC__
     <compileflags>-D_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS
     <compileflags>-D__arm__
     <compileflags>-D_REENTRANT
     <archiver>$(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ar
     <ranlib>$(androidNDKRoot)/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/prebuilt/windows/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib
         ;

I also changed libs/filesystem/src/operations.cpp file in order to compile threading libraries. You can find the necessary change here.

My build command is as following

set CXXFLAGS="-I%ANDROID_NDK%/platforms/android-8/arch-arm/usr/include -I%ANDROID_NDK%/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.4.3/include -I%ANDROID_NDK%/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.4.3/libs/armeabi/include "
set TOOLSET=gcc-android

.\b2 --toolset=%TOOLSET% --user-config=./user-config-android.jam cxxflags=%CXXFLAGS% threadapi=pthread --prefix=..\boost_android_arm --builddir=./ target-os=linux --with-date_time --with-filesystem --with-regex --with-log define=BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=3 --with-program_options --with-signals --with-system --with-thread link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi install

As I already told before, it does compile if I don't type --with-log at build command.

Here are couple of lines from output,

It includes many lines like these, but these are the first error that it gave.

Can someone see what I did wrong or what should I change?

Thanks

Just changing platform to android-9 solved the problem. After that it gaves another error which is already fixed in here
