Looks to me as if it thinks it's trying to build a Mingwin/Cygwin DLL, which
isn't appropriate here: you could try a native cygwin build of bjam so it's
not assuming it's building for Windows.
Note that most Boost libraries can be treated as "just a bunch of sources"
and built with whatever your favorite build tools are: in the case of
Boost.Regex just build libs/regex/src/*.cpp into a shared or static library.
There are also some sample makefiles in libs/regex/build that should be easy
to customise if that helps.
HTH, John.
