 It is not possible to build 64-bit version of Boost libraries using Sun
 Studio C++.

 1. 'tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam' should conatin something like:[[BR]]
 {{{
 flags sun OPTIONS <architecture>/<address-model>32 : -m32 ;
 flags sun OPTIONS <architecture>/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
 }}}

 2. To build shared libraries Sun Studio C++ requires -Kpic or -KPIC
 command line option for compilation and linking. This option mandatory for
 64-bit shared libraries and strongly recommended for 32-bit ones. What
 option to choose (-Kpic or -KPIC) depends on the size of the Global Offset
 Table (GOT). For Boost libraries -Kpic is enough.

 Here is corresponded Sun Studio documentation article:
