Here's how I'm doing something similar.
----
import feature ;
rule default-architecture
{
# this was an empty string on the solaris build - patch submitted in
Trac ticket
local osplat = [ modules.peek : OSPLAT ] ;
# the result is X86 on Windows, so use the option to make lowercase
if $(osplat)
{ return $(osplat:L) ; }
}
feature.set-default architecture : [ default-architecture ] ; # This
isn't necessary - I'd hoped it would suppress the architecture
component of the build location
DEFAULT_ARCH = [ default-architecture ] ;
project name_of_deliverable :
requirements
<include>include
<os>SOLARIS:<define>SOLARIS2
<architecture>$(DEFAULT_ARCH)
<architecture>sparc:<define>ENDIANNESS
;

In your case, it's the address-model feature that your code wants to
know about, so the requirements could include
<address-model>64:<define>Sizeof_int=8
<address-model>32:<define>Sizeof_int=4
If I were writing the code, I wouldn't let this affect the build
system in that way. Instead, my C code would say
#define Sizeof_int (sizeof int)
