On my sytem, compiling boost with a freshly installed cygwin using this
command:
bash-3.2$ bjam --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete --with-filesystem
stage
produced
boost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.dll
boost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.lib
libboost_filesystem-gcc34-1_35.lib
(others ommitted)
So cygwin has the same issue, but with an older compiler than mingw.
