[Boost-build] making a <toolset> dependent target fails

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile a different set of sources depending on the toolset.

As far as I can gather, the following should work:

alias src :  src/TSGuide.cpp : <toolset>msvc ;

alias src :  src/TSLanguage.cpp : <toolset>gcc ;

lib CUtils :  src ;

However, I get the following warnings:

error: No best alternative for CUtils/src
     next alternative: required properties: <secure-stl>off 
<threading>multi <toolset>msvc
         not matched
     next alternative: required properties: <secure-stl>off 
<threading>multi <toolset>gcc
         not matched

I have a Jamroot file that specifies global requirements for all my 
sub-projects, an in particular the threading and secure-stl properties.

Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks
