-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 vacpp.jam assumes an AIX ar and passes -X 64 when building 64bit:

 flags vacpp ARFLAGS <address-model>64 : -X 64 ;

 Unfortunately this does not work with GNU ar. Wrap this with a check for
 AIX since GNU ar handles 32 or 64bit object files fine.
