1) Why doesn't the build system choose the threadapi=pthread by default in my configuration? (The default seems to be win32)
Because you're using msvc bjam to build using cygwin gcc. Apparently this build option is broken.
This begins to sound like the boost-build options and the header file configuration detection options are out of sync, as Steven suggested.
OK, one more thing to try: can you set <target-os>cygwin in your user-config.jam gcc setup?
using gcc : 4.2.0 : : <target-os>cygwin ;
The boost thread jamfile uses <target-os> to work out whether it's building for cygwin or native win32. It appears that <target-os> is not set correctly for you (which probably ought to be done in gcc.jam or somewhere like that), so explicitly setting it might work.

Thanks for the suggestion. No change yet. 1) I added the parameter to my user-config.jam file using gcc : 4.2.0 : /opt/gcc-4.2.0/bin/g++.exe : <target-os>cygwin ; 2) I added it to my bjam invocation: Result: $ bjam --without-mpi gcc-4.2.0 libs/thread/build//boost_thread -d+2 target-os=cygwin warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader. note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively.
