[Boost-build] Linker command line generation from exe rule

In a jamfile I have:

project test_build : : requirements
       <link>static
       <runtime-link>static ;

lib user32 ;
lib gdi32 ;
exe test1 : main.cpp user32 gdi32 ;

When I invoke b2 with toolset A the linker response file includes 
user32.lib and gdi32.lib while when I compile with toolset B the linker 
response file includes neither. What in a toolset's jamfile itself would 
cause this difference to happen ?
