IIRC, from my testing it issues a warning about being unable to build a
target and then continues on building everything else. But let me check...

===
$ cd predef/test
$ b2 -a --verbose-test
warn: Unable to construct ./info_as_objcpp
warn: Unable to construct ./info_as_objc
...patience...

[[cut]]
**passed** bin/macos_vs_bsd.test/clang-darwin-4.2.1/debug/macos_vs_bsd.test
