Thanks for that. After adding one of those I get errors in the build  
because the following flags appear:

-arch i386 -arch ppc -arch x86_64 -arch ppc64 -m64

You can not have -m64 on the same line as -arch x86_64 so this is  
probably a bug in the bjam build system I would guess. I'll guess I'll  
try the CMake build system and see if I have any better luck.
