I'm sure that's the option. What I don't knows is why it isn't working 
since the Boost Consulting tests are done in in 64 bit mode. You could 
try using some of the options Dave used in those test 
<http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/BoostConsulting.html>:

address-model=64 instruction-set=opteron warnings=off --abbreviate-paths

The reference section of the Boost.Build docs explains *some* of the 
feature/options <http://boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/reference.html>. But 
it's incomplete... documentation is never finished :-(
