This test tries to establish how static objects defined in .hpp files are 
handled when a dll is involved. So the test only makes sense when at least 
some binaries are dynamically linked. Maybe the build fails because you try 
to force an all static build with the last two options, but I don't know 
enough about Boost.Build to say for sure.

HTH,
