1186,Lack of 64-bit address model support using Sun Studio C++,Simon.Atanasyan@…,Vladimir Prus,"It is not possible to build 64-bit version of Boost libraries using Sun Studio C++.

1. 'tools/build/v2/tools/sun.jam' should conatin something like:[[BR]]
{{{
flags sun OPTIONS <architecture>/<address-model>32 : -m32 ;
flags sun OPTIONS <architecture>/<address-model>64 : -m64 ;
}}}

2. To build shared libraries Sun Studio C++ requires -Kpic or -KPIC command line option for compilation and linking. This option mandatory for 64-bit shared libraries and strongly recommended for 32-bit ones. What option to choose (-Kpic or -KPIC) depends on the size of the Global Offset Table (GOT). For Boost libraries -Kpic is enough.
