Modified the build file (target) to:

config.cxx = /usr/local/bin/avr-g++

cxx.std = experimental
cxx.features.modules = true

config.cxx.target = avr-none-none

using cxx

assert $cxx.features.modules "no modules support for $cxx.signature"

mxx{*}: extension = mpp
cxx{*}: extension = cpp

exe{hello}: {cxx mxx}{*}

Now I get an assertion-failure of build2:
