I have been unable to build threads on cygwin using gcc or gcc-nocygwin. One thing I am puzzled by is that the tar file I downloaded does not have make files in tools/build/jam_src as David says.

Things have changed since 18 Oct 2002, when I wrote that. The instructions for rebuilding bjam are at: http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/index.html#installing If you're going to invoke it from within cygwin, you want the "Unix type platform" instructions.

with the bjam executable?

I don't know, but rebuilding bjam within cygwin is as easy as

make CC=gcc

from within the tools/build/jam_src directory.

Good. John said it won't work for Win32 executables, but it seems that it will work for cygwin-based apps; I might find a use for that.
