I also tried now 'bjam.exe cxxflags=-DBOOST_CYGWIN_PATH -q':

gcc.link  
../../../bin.v2/libs/filesystem/test/path_test.test/gcc-3.4.4/debug/link-static/path_test.exe

../../../bin.v2/libs/filesystem/test/path_test.test/gcc-3.4.4/debug/link-static/path_test.run

If I try 'bjam.exe -q' the Windows API is used for the test cases and I  
get a linker error (as I built all libraries with BOOST_POSIX_API). That's  
the only error I understand. :)
