Of course not. You told it to build the target output_test_stream_test
so it is going to do that. It isn't going to build the common_location
target because you said to just build the output_test_stream_test.

It is not that different from other build systems. It did exactly what
you specified.

Just type  bjam toolset=borland

if you don't like that, then specify both the targets you want with:

bjam toolset=borland output_test_stream_test common_location
