4570	Boost-build project inheritance broken	Brian Freyburger <bfreyburger@…>	Vladimir Prus	"Sometimes, boost-build applies the inheritance of a project's attributes from it's parent's twice, clobber locally defined attributes.

Attached is the smallest example I can create, and also attached is a patch to fix the problem.


Run before patch:

$ cd foo; bjam
...found 11 targets...
...updating 7 targets...
common.mkdir ../bin
common.mkdir ../bin/foo
common.mkdir ../bin/foo/bar
common.mkdir ../bin/foo/bar/gcc-3.4
common.mkdir ../bin/foo/bar/gcc-3.4/debug
gcc.compile.c ../bin/foo/bar/gcc-3.4/debug/test.o
gcc.link ../bin/foo/bar/gcc-3.4/debug/test
...updated 7 targets...

Run after patch:

$ cd foo; bjam
...found 9 targets...
...updating 6 targets...
common.mkdir baz
common.mkdir baz/bar
common.mkdir baz/bar/gcc-3.4
common.mkdir baz/bar/gcc-3.4/debug
gcc.compile.c baz/bar/gcc-3.4/debug/test.o
gcc.link baz/bar/gcc-3.4/debug/test
...updated 6 targets...
