Mariano,

I'd recommend that you build Boost as 64-bit library, using:

        b2 architecture=x86 address-model=64 <options you already used>

(The architecture= should not be needed in current version, but it was needed 1.59 if
I remember correctly).

You can check that the produced libraries are indeed 64-bit by using the readelf tool,
e.g.

     readelf -h libboost_system.so

It should report "Class: ELF64" pretty much at the start.

HTH,
