FlightGear is fairly outdated, I suspect that there are patches upstream
to allow building with the latest Boost.

Oh, great that you brought it upstream.  The change LGTM.

I fixed hplip in commit 68c7f577d8cbb1a11a812e36c7ae1e34ccc57e62.  I did
not look at these reports, so let me know if you think something else

I haven't looked into this, but is the inferior from before
commit 05e783871c2c69b402e088863d46f5be7915ac74?

Not sure how we can provide backwards-compatibility in this case.
