Let's back up a second.  You only need to build process_jam_log if  
you're planning on running the Boost regression tests.  If you're not  
going to run the regression tests, then I suggest you not waste your  
time trying to build it.  If you're going to run tests, then you  
should post your questions to the boost-testing mailing list.

It would help if you could send (1) the bjam command line and (2)  
send the link line and error message.

gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/ 
usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6

And please don't top post when you reply, it makes it very hard to  
follow the discussion.
