That's because the page only lists failures for "required" toolsets --
the ones that we (Boost developers) commit to keep in accordance with
"no regression" rule. The toolsets are enumerated in
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/status/explicit-failures-markup.xml
and are highlighted as bold on the library and summary report pages.
