Since your gcc compiler was configured to use Sun's ld, try adding

<linker-type>sun

  to the using gcc options in user-config.jam.  Mine looks like this.

using gcc
   : 3.4.6
   : /usr/local/bin/g++
   : <cflags>"-mcpu=v9 -m64"
     <cxxflags>"-mcpu=v9 -m64"
     <linkflags>"-mcpu=v9 -m64"
     <linker-type>sun
   ;
