gcc under cygwin does not support wide character i/o. Hence, all tests with wide char archives (text_warchive, xml_warchive, etc) fail in this environment.

I downloaded boost_1_32_0.tar.bz2 and tried to build under Cgywin, here is the procedure: 1. Download latest Cygwin setup.exe (Version: 2.427) 2.
