Comment(by alessandro_vergani):

 The problem happens also with VC9.
 I think it is a problem with bjam because if I place in the jamfile.v2 a
 simple test like:

 if 0
 {
    ECHO "Error" ;
 }

 the test always succeeds and the error string is diplayed.

 Explicitly comparing for equality with 1 solves the problem.
