 My OS is Windows XP Pro.

 To reproduce:
 * Install MinGW 20110530.
 * Download and uncompress boost_1_46_1.tar.bz2.
 * Launch MinGW Shell from Start menu.
 * Verify path:

 {{{
 $ printenv PATH
 .:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem
 }}}

 * cd and run bootstrap:

 {{{
 $ cd boost_1_46_1/tools/build/v2
 $ sh bootstrap.sh
 Bootstrapping the build engine with toolset gcc...

 $ cat bootstrap.log

 fileunix.c:97:17: fatal error: ar.h: No such file or directory

 }}}

 Surrounding the above failed includes with #ifndef {{{__}}}MINGW32{{{__}}}
 ... #endif did not fix the problem.
