#ifndef is at line 675 (which does not line up with what you said was at
line 688). The true path of the first #ifdef OS_CYGWIN makes an
unreasonable assumption about the value of the user's PATH variable. My
path variable starts with "/usr/bin:" as set by me in my .bashrc file.
It could have started with ".:/usr/bin:". I don't understand the
author's expectation here.

The authors expectation, being me, is wrong/stupid/shortsighted :-) 
Hence why John fixed the code:

<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src/expand.c?r1=1.12&r2=1.13>

You have the broken code. So what did you mean by "downloaded yesterday"?
