Oh, that works now? Cool! John, would you mind adding some "notes for Win9x" users to the Boost.Build documentation? I'd do it myself, but as a Win9x user I'm sure you know what to say better than I do.

I'm trying to compile boost with gcc (the version currently distributed with cygwin: 2.95.3-5 and not the pre-release version 3.1.1) but when I run bjam with either -sTOOLS=gcc-stlport or sTOOLS=gcc I get an error:
gcc-Link-action actions too long (max 1023):
If you are using cygwin, then I suggest that you compile Jam under cygwin and all the problems should go away.
Just use a:
make CC=gcc
in the tools/build/jam_src directory, then copy the executable to /usr/local/bin.
