The following change to build.sh seems to work for me.
In tools/build/src/engine,
diff ./build.sh ./build.sh_orig
135c135
<         machine=`echo $gcc -dumpmachine 2>/dev/null`
---

% ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=sun
-n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset sun...
tools/build/src/engine/bin.solarissparc/b2
...
Thanks,
