I'm trying to build the statechart tests and Boost.Build is failing.

I shortened the statechart tests down to this:
test-suite statechart
  :
    [ statechart-st-lib-run DllTestNormal
        : TuTestMain : TuTest : <link>shared $(normal) ]
  ;

And I run the following command:
cd status && bjam -d2 --dump-tests --user-config=/Code/boost_1_38_0/user-config.jam --without-python --without-thread --without-mpi variant=release threading=single link=static runtime-link=static

Here is the output from the command:
Skipping build of:  ../libs/statechart/test/DllTestNormalLibTuTest  <build>no in common properties

Is this a bug in the build system?
