Problems bootstrapping bjam on SOLARIS

Hi,

We need to build bjam with a very large MAXLINE and run into problems.
We run make and the command 
./jam0 -sJAMBASE= -sBOOST_ROOT= -sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=
fails.
Which of these variables do we *need* to set before running make?

We have 1600 .o files which need to be linked and would need a 
MAXLINE of about 128k. Yes I know we should use libraries, but that 
is not an option right now.

If someone out there can easily build sparc solaris versions of bjam 
I would really appreciate receiving a bjam executable with MAXLINE 
set to 128k.
