Oh... I think you've hit some wierdness in the way that alternatives are
selected. It's known, but not fixed yet, so I'm going to post a separate
message describing the problem in detail and asking for discussion.
I think the workaround for now is to add
explicit test-lib ;
so that test-lib is not built by itself, but only when requested from 'main'.
