It can only be built under Haiku, and is only available in the libbe_test
environment, as in:
$ TARGET=libbe_test jam test_app_server
or something very similar (written from memory).

While that is always a good suggestion, just have a look at it. While some
files could be shared, the test app server requires quite some magic to
properly separate it from the host, which also requires putting some files in
extra libraries, and have stuff included in a specific order. It would
certainly be possible to do it, but it won't get any easier, and you'll still
have to test both for any build problems.
