Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 Stephen, thanks for the explanation. IIUC, using address-model=32 or
 address-model=64 won't work on compilers earlier than Sun Studio 12, since
 those don't support -m32 or -m64.  On those earlier compilers, one should
 not use address-model, but instead add -xarch=generic64?
 If so, then I believe the current code in sun.jam, namely:
 {{{
 flags sun OPTIONS <address-model>32 : -m32 ;
 flags sun OPTIONS <address-model>64 : -m64 ;
 flags sun OPTIONS <link>shared : -KPIC ;
 }}}
 is correct, and this issue can be closed.

 Simon, Stephen, any objections to closing?
