+Subject: Openwrt: don't search for boost libs in host dirs
+
+While searching for the boost_system library in boost.m4, configure
+tries to find boost_system-mt before boost_system.  The presence of
+boost_system-mt in the staging dir depends on
+CONFIG_boost-use-name-tags.  If it is not defined (default), and there
+is a boost_system-mt library in the host system, it will be used, and
+the build will fail.
+
+This patch removes the host paths from the search loop, preserving the
+rest of the detection logic.
+
+Alternatively, boost_cv_lib_context_LIBS could be used to avoid library
+detection code entirely, but then the mt- variant would never be used.
