You want to have a look at the configuration for the Boost package you're
building.  It should not be including things from the w32api if it's
building for Cygwin.

If you aren't aware, Cygwin has a Boost package already.  If you're
looking for a more current version, you may find you have better luck
using the build scripts for the current Cygwin package as a basis if
you prefer not to wait for the Cygwin maintainer to release an update.
