Considering the first two functions: They are declared in z.cpp depending on 
value of the SELECT macros. The idea is that z.cpp should be compiled two 
times: once with SELECT equal to 1 and then with SELECT equal to 2. These 
compilations should define z1 and z2 respectively.

The most likely problem is that obj_1 and obj_2 main targets are not linked to
a.exe. You might want to use PRESEVE to get the state of testing directory, 
copy that to tools/build/test and run bjam manually to see what happens.

bjam msvc obj_1
