How to suppress particular target subvariant from building?

Hello all,

[I don't check this email address very frequently, so please direct 
any replies to the list only -- thanks.]

One of the targets in my tree cannot be linked against the static 
runtime library. Is there an easy way to suppress this 
target/subvariant combination from building during those times that I 
build the rest of the tree "<runtime-link>dynamic"?

I tried a number of things to conditionally set <suppress> on the 
target, but I couldn't determine a way to tell what the <runtime-
link> property was set to. I'm afraid I don't have a complete grasp 
on the details of boost.build. I love the enhanced features that come 
with it, unfortunately it seems quite a bit more complicated than the 
stock jam/jambase. Any pointers here?

many thanks,
