You need to add the appropriate one of the three test librarys.

For example, limits_test used to be specified in the status/Jamfile like 
this:

   [ run libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp ]

Now it must be done like this:

   [ run libs/config/test/limits_test.cpp
   <lib>../libs/test/build/test_exec_monitor ]
