This error is specific to Boost.Test, and only occurs when you run bjam in the Boost.Test subdirectories.
How come. What so specific about my Jamfiles?
You have a Jamfile in libs/test. This shouldn't cause a problem, but it does.
I have a fix, but I need to make sure that it doesn't break anything else before I commit it, since it changes the loading of Jamfiles.
DO you mean changes in Boost.Build?
Yes.
I don't think there's much in the way of testing on Cygwin now. It should be easy to add the name g++-4 into the mix that Boost.Build searches for.
Name g++ exists in a path. It's just a cygwin symlink. it needs to be made aaware about correct name to use instead (depending on which version of gcc is installed.
Interestingly it does not work even if I start bjam from cygwin's bash shell (Usually I use shell in Far Manager, which is essentially a Windows shell)
Aha. It doesn't matter what shell you run bjam from. You apparently compiled as a Windows executable, so it can't execute cygwin symlinks. You can try whether a cygwin build of bjam works.
gcc.archive ..\..\..\libs\test\build\bin\gcc-4.5.3\ debug\link-static\libboost_unit_test_framework.a

The system cannot find the path specified. The system cannot find the path specified.
Do these two executables exist?
They do, but the same way as with g++ they are symbolic links.
