Yea :-(

The <library> project requirements apply to all targets in Jamfile, including 
"obj". The the <library> feature is handled by moving the property value to 
the list of sources. And now, the "obj" file compiles the library with 
optimization=off.

I think it's possible that we change <library> to only have the special effect 
for "exe" and "lib" targets. After all, it does not make such sense for other 
targets.

Thoughs?
