Ok, the bug I've seen is fixed. Strange things: spend half of yesterday adding 
printfs and today in the morning I've just went to the buggy code and fixed 
it, without even thinking.

Anyway... I don't think behaviour you report has anything to do with the 
bugfix --- the message is produced by 'make0' function in bjam, which decides 
what to update, and which was not affected by my recent changes. 

And I'm now not sure there's any bug there. Jam found 1193 targets and updates 
25. Probably that's because there's only 25 buildable targets and all others 
are headers? Maybe you've run bjam from a subdirectory, so it did not seen 
all the targets in the project? In short, the output you quoted does not 
indicate any bug yet. Maybe, if jam really failed to update some target, you 
could provide more information?
