[Boost-users] Unable to build boost 1.61 on Solaris 11.3 w/ DevStudio 12.5

Please bear with me as I am not really familiar with Solaris. I have an 11.3 box, where I installed the developer studio 12.5. Following directions at https://blogs.oracle.com/studiocpp/entry/test, I tried to build boost 1.61. It fails horribly! I get as far as:

...

create compiler configuration for Studio 12.4 C++03 (using Boost.Config configure) so all the fancy C++11 stuff in Boost is not yet enabled even if we compile with -std=c++11. ] cd libs/config; CXX=CC CXXFLAGS="-std=c++03 -m64" LDFLAGS="-std=c++03 -m64" sh ./configure

<< which fails. Config.log contains: configure:1959: CC -std=c++03 -m64 -std=c++03 -m64 conftest.cpp >&5 CC: Warning: Option -std=c++03 passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise CC: Warning: Option -std=c++03 passed to ld, if ld is invoked, ignored otherwise ld: fatal: option '-d' has illegal argument '=c++03' ld: fatal: option '-d' has illegal argument '=c++03' Removing "-std=c++03" does allow the configure process to run but not as it was intended. Building with: "./b2 --user-config=user-config.jam address-model=64 -j12 --disable-icu" gives me a lot of errors, such as those below. Below my problem description, I've pasted the build errors I noticed until I broke the build. What is the proper sequence to build boost 1.61 on Solaris? Many thanks for any help!
