On what platform?  Here's what I use for Windows:

bjam.exe --toolset=msvc address-model=64 --stagedir=./stage64release 
--build-dir=./build64release --layout=system --without-mpi 
variant=release link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install 
--prefix=./win64release/indep --exec-prefix=./win64release/bin 
--libdir=./win64release/lib --includedir=./win64release/include
bjam.exe --toolset=msvc address-model=64 --stagedir=./stage64debug 
--build-dir=./build64debug --layout=system --without-mpi variant=debug 
link=shared threading=multi runtime-link=shared install 
--prefix=./win64debug/indep --exec-prefix=./win64debug/bin 
--libdir=./win64debug/lib --includedir=./win64debug/include

Note that "address-model=64" doesn't have a "--" prefix.  This bites 
lots of people (including me...) You need to run these in a Visual 
Studio 64-bit command prompt.  It's similar for Linux, --toolset=gcc and 
from memory OSX is --toolset=darwin.
