It seems you are not using GNU make. Try /usr/bin/make instead of make.

I mean typing the following command:
$ /usr/bin/make install

If you still get the same issue, your cygwin installation is maybe broken and you'd better reinstall it. But I suspect that you have installed a Borland Make and it is in the PATH variable before
/usr/bin.

You can also invoke bjam directly without using make:
$ ./tools/jam/src/bin.cygwinx86/bjam -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 link=static threading=single runtime-link=shared --layout=system --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg
--exec-prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg --libdir=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/lib --includedir=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/include --without-python release install

If you used exactly the same command as I wrote, it is in /cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/include/ and /cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_cyg/lib.
If you want it somewhere else, you have to specify a different --prefix option.
