Strange.

And in fact the macos test are run:

I'd rather keep that.. As I don't like relying on a particular build system
for any code to compile.

Though I'm already running with  -d+2 --debug-configuration I get no output

The output from the configuration build parts is output to
boost-root/bin.v2/config.log. Also you could cd to libs/predef/test. And
run "b2 -a --verbose-test". And check the output to see what is detected
for BOOST_OS_*.
