This ought to work.

This test should always be true.  It is
parsed as

if "<name>boost_math_c99"

and tests whether "<name>boost_math_c99" is
non-empty.

base is not a variable that's in scope.

This test should always succeed.

Try adding

ECHO name: $(name) type: $(type) layout: $(layout) ;

at the top of the tag rule.

Also, can you post the whole function?  The
layout=system block doesn't appear to get
executed at all.
