Hello All,

The last 4 lines of /tools/build/v1/vacpp-tools.jam need to be changed:

actions updated together piecemeal xlc-Archive-action
{
    ar ru$(ARFLAGS) "$(<)" "$(>)"
}
to:

actions updated together piecemeal xlc-Archive-action
{
    ar -ru $(ARFLAGS) "$(<)" "$(>)"
}

As when you set <arflags>-X64 the original resolves to:
ar ru-X64  ........
which just crashes, while the fix  resolves to:
 ar -ru -X64 ......
which works quite nicely.
