Hi Ren,
can you send me a minimal self-contained project that reproduces this 
behaviour? It could be a bug in Boost.Build, or it could be undersired 
interaction with some other code in Jamroot you have no shown, or something 
else, and it's hard to debug such kinds of problem without testcase.

In general, when reporting problems, where Boost.Build does not work the way 
you want, sending a test project is always appreciated.
