The most likely cause is that the OP is trying to use the ZIP archive, which has DOS EOLs, with cygwin. The OP needs to use the TAR archive, which has UNIX EOLs.

The one I download is .7z, It causes this problem. And I reinstall from a tar.bz2 packet, that's OK.

EOL problem confirmed... Closing as this is an expected behavior, in that not all tools in Windows deal with differing EOLs. I.e. it's not a Boost bug.
./configure is Doug department. The error definitely means that in Windows packages, configure has Windows line ending. That's probably wrong, but I don't know for sure what's the right solution.
