Comment (by johnmaddock):

 >If address model is not specified in command line to b2, address model
 suffix is not appended.

 That makes the patch unusable I'm afraid: as the auto-linking code
 requires absolute consistency in library naming.

 In a more general sense, I'd appreciate it if you'd raise this issue on
 the boost-developer mailing list.  It's not something that either
 Boost.Build or Boost.Config can fix on their own, and requires more
 general consensus from the Boost community that this is a good idea.
