Seems like my reply to you was also dropped :-(

What is 'platform.architecture'? Is that a module from Python standard
library? If so, for starters, have you built bjam with Python support?
If so, you can do this:

        PYTHON_IMPORT_RULE platform : architecture : : platform.architecture ;

and then use

        [ platform.architecture ]

everywhere. Does this help?
