I don't know what should happen frankly.

It tries to build it but fails:

msvc.link 
..\..\..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\config\test\link\test\link_test_static_sing
le_debug.test\msvc-8.0\debug\link-static\runtime-link-static\link_test_static_si
ngle_debug.exe
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 
'liblink_test-vc80-mt-sgd-1_35.lib'

What's happening is that bjam is building lib's that are name-mangled for a 
single threaded build, but single threaded builds aren't supported by VC8 at 
all, so the auto-linking code goes off in search of the MT lib.
