The following ports fail to build due to configure checks for

fixing this.

Fails to configure due to missing boost_system*
Attached is a diff for devel/codeblocks to remove boost_system.
Tested on amd64.
Great, thanks.

I think we still need to keep a bdep on devel/boost? Boost is still
detected at configure time:
checking for boostlib >= (102000)... yes
and and even if it's no longer contributing to wantlib, I suspect its
.hpp parts are picked up from some of the modules. Or did you check
that this doesn't happen?
Various Boost modules are header only. If not using any of the libraries
but compiling header-only modules then it should be a BUILD_DEPENDS.
