Hi,

The cygwin pre-built jam is still broken, and, I tried these
instructions (make CC=gcc) with boost_1_29 etc but I get these
errors:

$ make CC=gcc
chmod a+w jambase.c
./jam0 -sJAMBASE= -sBOOST_ROOT= -sBOOST_BUILD_PATH=
...found 199 targets...
...updating 42 targets...

chmod 711 ./yyacc

...failed MyChmod1 jamgram.y...
...skipped jamgram.h for lack of jamgram.y...
...skipped jamgram.c for lack of jamgram.y...
...skipped jamgram.o for lack of jamgram.c...
..

and for want of jamgram.y, bjam.exe is ultimately lost.
There's a jamgram.yy present and I copy it to jamgram.y,
but I get:

Yacc1 jamgram.c jamgram.h

jamgram.y:119: invalid input: ``'
jamgram.y:119: ill-formed rule: initial symbol not followed by colon
jamgram.y:119: invalid input: ``'

Could it be as simple as not liking the backquotes? 
Any advice? I have set BOOST_ROOT & BOOST_BUILD_PATH
but it makes no difference. 
I'm using a pretty recent cygwin, gcc 3.2, bison 1.35, etc

Thanks,

Jeff
