The original problem was something to do with rthreads, but since then
the port has suffered bit-rot and won't even build due to boost changes.

Given their "run our binaries" advice they probably don't care, but
maybe it's worth a try. Updating to their current code would be a

conflict with upstream changes but aren't super important for now,
they can be re-added later).
