Description

The toolchain build is building some old versions of libraries that are not currently in used. Specifically:

boost-1.57.0-p3 (old)
boost-1.61.0-p2 (old)

thrift-0.13.0-p4 (never used)
thrift-0.14.2-p4 (never used)

openssl 1.0.2 (comes from OS, not toolchain)
krb5 1.15.1 (comes from OS, not toolchain)

While we're here, we need to fix that the Boost build limits itself to -j4:

  wrap ./b2 -s"NO_BZIP2=1" $TOOLSET cxxflags="$CXXFLAGS" linkflags="$CXXFLAGS" --prefix=$LOCAL_INSTALL -j4 install

And thrift doesn't go parallel when it now works on recent Thrift versions:

  wrap make install # Thrift 0.9.0 doesn't build with -j${BUILD_THREADS}
