No.

Do you mean <linkflags>-std=c++11 ? Or something else to tell it what library to use ?

Steven is correct - you need to pass -std=c++11 (or whatever) to the linker as well as the compiler.

Thanks, I discovered that was the situation.

Note that this is much improved in Git develop where the sun toolset now has inbuilt features for the various std lib's see https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/259f7f7a96eed7ffb9f8a10f555b7aaa6f7.... Unfortunately for C++ 11 mode you still need to add an explicit -std=c++11 via cxxflags :(

Are the inbuilt features in sun.jam for the various std lib's meant to be used by the end-user in any way ?
