#5883: Neither <dependency> nor <use> works on prebuilt library targets

 For example, suppose I have a jamroot file as follows;

 {{{
 run test.cpp : : : : test.run ;
 explicit test.run ;

 lib gmp : : <dependency>test.run ;
 explicit gmp ;

 exe main.exe : gmp main.cpp ;
 explicit main.exe ;
 }}}

 Here, I just expect that `<dependency>` feature on the `lib` target
 introduces a dependency on the `test.run` target. However, command line
 invocation like
 {{{
 bjam main.exe
 }}}
 pulls neither the build nor run of `test.run` at all, and only `main.exe`
 is built.
