I use this procedure to build x84 & x64:

1)Open up Visual Studio 2008 x64 cross tools command prompt (%
comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0
\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86_amd64)
2)cd boost_1_36_0 \tools\jam\src
3)build.bat
4)cd boost_1_36_0
del c:\boost_1_36_0\bin.v2 /s /q
5)tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 define=_SECURE_SCL=0 
define=arch:SSE2 link=shared debug address-model=32 threading=multi --
prefix=c:/boost32 --without-python --without-mpi install  
>c:\boost_build_result_debug_32.txt
del c:\boost_1_36_0\bin.v2 /s /q
6)tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 define=_SECURE_SCL=0 
define=arch:SSE2 link=shared debug address-model=64 threading=multi --
prefix=c:/boost64 --without-python --without-mpi install  
>c:\boost_build_result_debug_64.txt
del c:\boost_1_36_0\bin.v2 /s /q
7)tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 define=_SECURE_SCL=0 
define=GL define=arch:SSE2 link=shared release address-model=32 
threading=multi --prefix=c:/boost32 --without-python --without-mpi install  
>c:\boost_build_result_release_32.txt
del c:\boost_1_36_0\bin.v2 /s /q
8)tools\jam\src\bin.ntx86_64\bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 define=_SECURE_SCL=0 
define=GL define=arch:SSE2 link=shared release address-model=64 
threading=multi --prefix=c:/boost64 --without-python --without-mpi install  
>c:\boost_build_result_release_64.txt
del c:\boost_1_36_0\bin.v2 /s /q
