[Boost-build] [Boost.Jam 03.1.16] Trouble building bjam under cygwin/gcc

When I try to build bjam under cygwin (with various versions of gcc
including the 3.x and 4.x) I get an assertion failure. Any
suggestions? (Note: my cygwin is installed under C:\ not C:\cygwin)

$ cd /asl/staff/mmarcus/sandbox/boost_libraries/tools/jam/src
$ ./build.sh

Thanks,
