Silly me, I already did something like this for multi_index. Just didn't 
know about "<build>no".

I added the following to the Jamfile, which seems to work ok.

local rule special-requirements ( toolset variant : properties * )
{
     if $(UNIX) && $(OS) = OSF
     {
         switch $(toolset)
         {
             case tru64cxx65* : properties =
                 [ replace-properties $(properties) : <build>no ] ;
         }
     }

     return $(properties) ;
}

We even once had a discussion that there should be a more general solution 
to this, IIRC.

Thanks, Markus
