 You mean, that warning is now emitted? Is it emitted for each target? Well,
it seems a bit unlogical to first request
build properties that can't be built, and then emit warnings. Imagine a user
that just wants to build Boost, and
gets some warnings. Should he be worried by those warnings? In specific case
of Boost, he should not, so we'd need to
either

      - suppress the warnings just for Boost
      - stop requesting combination that can't be built
