Linker problem using version 12.4 on Linux

Question

I am trying to use Solaris Studio 12.4 on Linux ( OpenSuse 13.2 ). I have installed the compiler and set up the PATH to its bin directory. When I compile/link a program I am receiving:
"sun.link ../../../bin.v2/libs/vmd/test/test_after_array_elem.test/sun-cxx11-12.4/debug/address-model-64/test_after_array_elem
    "/opt/oracle/solarisstudio12.4/bin/CC" -g -m64 -KPIC   -o "../../../bin.v2/libs/vmd/test/test_after_array_elem.test/sun-cxx11-12.4/debug/address-model-64/test_after_array_elem" "../../../bin.v2/libs/vmd/test/test_after_array_elem.test/sun-cxx11-12.4/debug/address-model-64/test_after_array_elem.o"  -Bdynamic -lrt -Bstatic  -Bdynamic
CC: Warning: failed to detect system linker version, falling back to custom linker usage"
and this is followed by:a series of errors involving standard streams, standard output, and the like:

This is all being done from Boost and Boost Build and the linker errors are occurring because of the run-time use of the lightweight_test component of Boost.
There is no problem using gcc directly compiling in 64-bit mode but Solaris Studio C++ 12.4 is failing.
Any ideas why it cannot find the system linker and use it, or why it is failing with the "custom linker", whatever that is, would be appreciated. If Boost Build needs some other compiler/linker option to work I can adjust that. Maybe I need to install some library for -std=c++11 mode or maybe -std=c++11 mode dopes has some sort of bug.

It looks like you link with different -library/-std set of options compared to those that you compiled with.

This link line uses default settings, which is -library=Cstd for Studio 12.4.
And since you use Boost most likely you compile with -library=stlport4 or with -std=c++03, which implies -library=stdcpp (gcc STL).
Otherwise you would most likely get compilation failures (since -library=Cstd is a rather outdated STL).
You should use pretty much the same set of options when you compile and when you link.
Verify your build configuration (CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS whatever).
