Description
If the libicu-devel package is installed on a Linux system boost will enable Unicode support. This can lead to binary incompatibility issues when moving between Linux flavors where libicu.so can have slightly different major version variants that are not binary compatible. Since Unicode is not currently required by the stack the suggestion is to disable Unicode in boost to ensure that the stack builds are more predictable.
Simple change applied to configure boost with --without-icu option. Approved on HipChat SQuaRE room.
