The matter is more complex :-((
The problem is distribution-specific. It shows only when using a 
combined 64/32-bit distribution like SuSE-10.x, which I use at work.
Pure 64bit distributions like debian-AMD64 don't have this problem.
I use the attached patch to fool the regex build that is _has_ found the 
libraries and then use the following in my user-confing.jam on 
SuSE-10-x:

#  GCC configuration
using gcc : 4.1 : <wrapper-script>.sh
                : # options
                     <cxxflags>-m64
                      <linkflags>-L/usr/X11R6/lib64
                     <linkflags>-L/usr/lib64
              <linkflags>-L/opt/gnome/lib64    # for glib-2.0 on SuSE
           
This does the trick for me...          

On debian-AMD64, everything works out-of-the-box...

Well, yes. The current build system does not identify the correct 
platform, that is, we are missing <addressmodel> or <arichtecture> 
options for at least gcc on linux and msvc-8.0 ...

But I'm not sure we can solve this before 1.34.0...

Yours,
