No, this fails, too:

D:\Temp>g++ -Wall -O3 -ID:\C++\Boost\Current -o boostbuildtest.exe
boostbuildtest.cpp -Lc:\boost_current\lib -lboost_regex -lboost_f
ilesystem
d:\apps\msys\1.0\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.1.1\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lboost_regex
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've also tried variations making sure that the case of the paths in the command
line matches what Windows shows (because, in the past, I've had trouble with Gnu
tools treating paths case-sensitively on Windows).  Still no luck.

Other suggestions?

Scott
