Vladimir,

I managed to build a small demo project to show the problem. See 
attached test.tgz file.

Extract the file and go into the test directory. Edit the 
boost-build.jam to reflect your boost build location.

# test/Jamroot
build-project p ;

# test/p/Jamfile
exe p :
   [ glob *.c : p_x.c ]
   ;

If you issue a
        bjam --toolset=gcc -a
then just p.c is compiled, very well.

But if you cd into the p folder and run bjam there:

        cd p
        bjam --toolset=gcc -a

Then both p.c and p_x.c are compiled.

I am using boost 1.34.0 with
Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 11)
Boost.Kam 03.1.14

I have checked, there is no signifcant difference between boost build 
from boost 1.34.0 and 1.34.1.

Maybe you can have a look at it?

Thank you
