It looks a bit to me as though you're not using the sane-testing
branch of tools/build/testing.jam...

Hmm, maybe Chmod is interfering with the test slightly on Linux...

Anyway, when I do it on Linux, I get:

bjam link-no.test
...found 12 targets...
...updating 9 targets...
MkDir1 bin
MkDir1 bin/link-no.test
MkDir1 bin/link-no.test/gcc
MkDir1 bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug
MkDir1 bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic
gcc-C++-action bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/a.o
gcc-Link-action bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/link-no

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Chmod1 bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/link-no
chmod: getting attributes of `bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/link-no': No such file or directory
(failed-as-expected) bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/link-no
**passed** bin/link-no.test/gcc/debug/runtime-link-dynamic/link-no.test
...updated 9 targets...

So, while the Chmod is unsightly, it doesn't change the result.

I wonder if it's acting differently on Cygwin?
