Hi Volodya
it's little better now, but sill not there. Attached you will find bjam output
and my configuration. Sorry about replying so late, but I missed your message on
the mailing list. I know that you are leaving now - if you have no time or the
fix is nontrivial, do not bother with it and have a good vacation.

Python extensions modules are DLL by definition.
What we have here is that code in python.jam that handles testing of Python modules assumes that either the extension module builds, or we get a fatal error. Seems like (I assume it's Rene's changes), extension module is not built,but instead of fatal error we get empty list of targets, so code on the above like crashes.
I think the biggest question now if it's possible, somehow, though arbitrary amount of hacking, to get shared libraries work on this compiler. IIRC, some time I was told that a future version will support DLLs. Is we can it work, things are good.
Otherwise, we need to somehow disable all DLL tests -- including tests that explicitly ask for DLL version of some library . There are such tests in config (above), program_option, date_time. We'd need to also completely disable Python tests that build python extension modules.
