I tried all the combinations of

address-model=[64|combined]
architecture=[x86|combined|<nothing>]
--toolset=darwin | <nothing>

Omitting --toolset=darwin gives me a warning that gcc is used but does
not change the result. Omitting the architecture parameter with
address-model=64 will compile but the resulting libraries are 32 bits.
With architecture=x86  and address-model=64 I get the message ' error:
CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set.'

I'll download 1.36 and see if it willcompile. I think that all I need
to change to my code is a method that changed name in the filesystem
library. It may be faster than trying to compile 1.34.
