You are right, the problem was that we do not have the 64-bit compiler 
and libraries installed. I was so focused on Boost that I forgot to look 
at the larger picture :)

I tried the build on another machine where we have a 64-bit Linux 
installation and Boost compiles fine in 64-bit. For others with the same 
problem, look here:

Thank you,
