Dave forgot one important aspect. You need to also specify the 
architecture when using either the instruction-set or address-model 
options. Hence you should add...

        '-sBUILD=<architecture>sparc <address-model>64'

To get the "-m64" options in there.

No where easy... Only place is the declaration file in 
boost-root/tools/build/v1/features.jam
