FYI, Just for the hell of it, I *did* update boost_cropped to 1.59.0 in a private branch. The resultant Sage passes ptestlong with no errors, and *can* run rstan with no error.
This should be considered for Sage itself (maybe with 1.58.0, which is the version that many distros (including Debian and Ubuntu) and other packages (including R) are up to now). Porting the whole of Boost should also be considered, but maybe after considering what uses the non-headers parts of Boost. AFAICT, The R package is headers-only.
