Great: I managed to run the tests for cygwin g++ 3.4.4 (29 Gbytes of disk space!). Tests have been transferred to boost.
However, there is also a strange error:

# Starting tests ("/cygdrive/g/boost_regression/tools_bjam/bin.cygwinx86/bjam.exe" "-sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=/cygdrive/g/boost_regression:/cygdrive/g/boost_regression/tools_bb"
