Comment(by vladimir_prus):

 {{{
 To use 64-bit compilation you should:
 Configure you compiler as usual. If you provide a path to the compiler
 explicitly, provide the path to the 32-bit compiler. If you try to specify
 the path to any of 64-bit compilers, configuration will not work.
 When compiling, use address-model=64, to generate AMD64 code.
 To generate IA64 code, use architecture=ia64
 }}}
 Can you clarify what is lacking in the above description. As for debug and
 release mode, I think that:
 http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/invocation.html


 Is clear on that.
