As far as I can make out, Boost.Build is working correctly:

$ b2 link_fail_nortti_rtti -d2
...
"testing_crossmodule.cpp"
-Fo"..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\type_index\test\link_fail_nortti_rtti.test\msvc-14.0\debug\threading-multi\testing_crossmodule.obj"
   -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /W3 /GR /MDd /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /wd4675 /EHs
/GR- -c
-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1
...

   -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /W3 /GR /MDd /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /wd4675 /EHs -c

[no error messages]
...failed msvc.link
..\..\..\bin.v2\libs\type_index\test\link_fail_nortti_rtti.test\msvc-14.0\debug\threading-multi\link_fail_nortti_rtti.exe...

Likewise, for link_fail_rtti_nortti, /GR- -DNO_RTTI vs. /GR
seem to be passed correctly.

Just to validate, I changed link-fail to link and it passed.
