Hi Gustav,

It looks like this is not working as expected:

ERROR: boost-1.92.0-r0 do_compile: Execution of '/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/genericx86-64/build/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/boost/1.92.0/temp/run.do_compile.1669567' failed with exit code 1

Can you have a look at the issue?

Thanks,
Mathieu
