Most likely some users will and some won't: there is no way to satisfy all
users with a single default.

The users wanting 32-bit libraries will either have to remove +DD64 or
override it by adding +DD32 to the flags. I don't know bjam and Boost.Build
v2 well enough to suggest how to override it outside acc.jam.

You might want to post it to the boost.build list.

Thanks,
