My build failed with 64 bit boost on solaris x86. The reason is the ar command could not pack *.o to 64 bit static libary. Who can help it? Your comments are appreciated Below is my test:

% ar rc test.a date_generators.o greg_month.o greg_weekday.o 

% file *
date_generators.o:      ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable AMD64 Version 1
greg_month.o:   ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable AMD64 Version 1
greg_weekday.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable AMD64 Version 1
test.a:         current ar archive, 32-bit symbol table
% ar
usage: ar -d[-SvV] archive file ...
ar -m[-abiSvV] [posname] archive file ...
ar -p[-vV][-sS] archive [file ...]
ar -q[-cuvSV] [-abi] [posname] [file ...]
ar -r[-cuvSV] [-abi] [posname] [file ...]
ar -t[-vV][-sS] archive [file ...]
ar -x[-vV][-sSCT] archive [file ...]

Your test.a file does contain 64 libraries, it is just its symbol table which is 32 bit but that doesn't prevent 64 bit linking to work.

Should you really want file to state it has a 64 bit symbol table, you might run:

ar Src test.a date_generators.o greg_month.o greg_weekday.o
