[CCed since this is old thread, please reply to list]

I guess I have a plausible theory. Try removing "bin.v2/config.log" and doing
a build. If you see messages from config checks first time around, but not
thereafter, that's it. I've run into this issue when implementing config checks
in boost.build/python.

Thanks,
