[Boost-users] Help: Building Boost with Different Compiler Options

I'm trying to build Boost 1.32 on Solaris 8 (SPARC) with GCC 3.3.4.  I want to 
build a 64-bit version of the libraries and this requires pasing the -m64 option 
to the compiler.  How do I tell bjam to do this?

I've tried:

export TOOLSET_OPT="-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=${GCCDIR} 
-exec-prefix=${PWD}/${GCCVERSION}/64 \"\"-sGXX=g++ -m64\"\" \"\"-sGCC=gcc -m64\"\""

...

bjam ${TOOLSET_OPT}  \
     -sTOOLS=${TOOLSET} \
     --prefix=${PWD}/.. \
     --with-python-root=/projects/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris8 \
     install

It dosn't seem to work.  I still get 32-bit libraries.

Help would be appreciated,  Thanks.
