question regarding linkage with gcc on AIX and SUN

I'm trying to build and test boost on AIX and SUN with the
gcc compiler.

compilation works fine.

Things get hungup when we try use the native linker.  We've
been able to
make things work by hacking the gcc.jam file so to set
linker-type = sun
which apparantly sets up the linker command line switches in
a form which
is compatible with the native linkers on both of these
systems.

What is the correct way to fix this?

        using gcc : [version] : [command] :
<linker-type>sun ;
