That works.  Thank you for the suggestion.

I think bjam ought to do the equivalent by default on x86 or x86_64 
systems, but it's fine with me to explicitly set the architecture.

Perhaps the architecture-dependent lines in gcc.jam could be replaced by 
just one that sets the flag for all, since they are all '-m32' or 
'-m64'.  That is, replace

flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>x86/<address-model>32 : -m32 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>x86/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>sparc/<address-model>32 : -m32 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>sparc/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>power/<address-model>32 : -m32 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <architecture>power/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;

by

flags gcc OPTIONS <address-model>32 : -m32 ;
flags gcc OPTIONS <address-model>64 : -m64 ;

If I have some time, I'll try it out.
