[Buildroot] [PATCH] boost: Force the target ABI for MIPS architecture

[Vicente Olivert Riera]

The default ABI used in boost is 'sysv' which is not valid for MIPS.
Given the boost build system doesn't detect the right ABI when we are
cross-compiling, we fix this by passing the right ABI directly to the
boost options for the target.

Dear Vicente Olivert Riera,

Are you sure this is sufficient to handle MIPS in Boost? Reading the
Boost code, I see that it also supports abi=n64 and abi=n32. Maybe you
should have a look and see if additional cases of ABIs are needed.

Thanks!

Thomas
