The nios2 problems are due to a toolchain issue. We should simply
disable boost with this toolchain.

The PowerPC problems are due to a uClibc bug. I've done some tests, and
boost-1.57.0 builds fine on PowerPC/glibc, ARM/uClibc, but fails on
PowerPC/uClibc. It's the boost-log module that causes the problem.
