I'm trying to build Boost 1.60 with Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 in 64-bit mode but it seems to be ignoring the address-model=64 parameter and always builds a 32-bit version (I called b2 from the VS2015 Native tools for x64 command prompt):
--
C:\Users\Tiago\code\boost_1_60_0>b2 --toolset=msvc-14.0 variant=release link=static threading=multi address-model=64 architecture=x86
Performing configuration checks
- 32-bit : yes
- arm : no
- mips1 : no
- power : no
- sparc : no
- x86 : yes
....
C:\Users\Tiago\code\boost_1_60_0>cl
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.00.23506 for x64

I saw in some ond discussion mentions to explicitly select the compiler version (I also have VS2010 and VS2012 installed) and environment variables batch file (in the project-config.jam file) but this didn't help either.
Any help is really appreciated.
Best regards,
