First of all, you did not include the actually error message from compiler
in your log above. Bjam should have printed both the error messages from
the compiler and compiler invocation command, find the first such pair,
and print them.

Second, -address-model=64 will not have any effect, please use 
address-model=64 (no leading dash), together with architecture=64
