There is also the issue of boost-1.52 and gnuradio.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8825
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8789
gnuradio builds against 1.52 but is functionally broken, consequently 
upstream have blacklisted boost-1.52.
gnuradio is OK with boost-1.53, but that does break the build of some 
other packages. I test built all that require it:-

Options:
1. Update boost to 1.53 and fix the other broken builds
2. Somehow provide boost-1.53 or 1.51 alongside 1.52
3. Nuke gnuradio until boost gets updated.
