More errors follow. What am I doing wrong?

Wherever your gcc implementation is there is no direct.h in one of its automatically included paths. My guess is that your cygwin/mingw setup is not done correctly so that whatever bjam is picking up as the gcc implementation along the PATH is not what you want. I get this sort of error if I am running a version of mingw/mingw64/gcc and I haven't changed to the correct mingw setup via a symbolic link to various mingw/mingw64 installations I have.
