You've just hit a known bug:

> Is there anyway to make it work?

Unless you're willing to wait an unknown period of time for me to fix this, 
you can try this:

project : requirements <threading>multi ;

alias platform-sources : msvc.cpp : <toolset>msvc ;
alias platform-sources : gcc.cpp : <toolset>gcc ;
explicit platform-sources ;
exe test : platform-sources ;

which works for me. Your opinion on the more explicit alternative syntax 
(proposed in the above URL), is also appreciated.
