Great: I managed to run the tests for cygwin g++ 3.4.4 (29 Gbytes of disk space!). Tests have been transferred to boost. However, there is also a strange error:

If the tests were uploaded, this error does not matter -- it breaks Boost.Build testings, but not not C++ Boost testing. I'll look into this failure after I review Boost.Build results on other targets. - Volodya
