Comment (by anonymous):

 I tracked down the as(1) error to SUNWgcc: for some reason, Sun compiled
 GCC --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as, but "SUNWgcc" does not
 declare "SUNWbinutils", which brings on /usr/sfw/bin/gas as a dependency.
 Installing "SUNWbinutils" resolves the "/usr/ccs/bin/as: error: unknown
 option '-' /usr/ccs/bin/as: error: unknown option 't' /usr/ccs/bin/as:
 error: unknown option" since GNU as(1) is now avabilable, but "bjam" still
 ignores any combination of options to build 64-bit.

 The following combinations have all been tried by passing them to "bjam":

 -sBUILD='<cxxflags>-m64 <linkflags>-m64 <address-model>64'

 as well as

 "cxxflags=-m64 linkflags=-m64 adress-model=-m64"

 all to no avail. All of those invocations are simply ignored, and bjam
 builds a 32-bit version of the libraries.
