   Sorry was a typo. I used the "meta-toolchain" recipe as recommended.

The standard boost header files. On desktop FS after install boost I get
/us/lib/boost/*. (Example accumulator/ circular_buffer/  etc.).
I just did a more generic grep and found that files were located in the
following path
/opt/poky/1.6.1/sysroots/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/usr/include/boost/*

Alternatively, the source header files could be used from the boost
source tarball from the boost website or downloads folder in yocto.

I am not sure if the boost package is built completely. I am not aware
of any way to test if all libraries are being built.
Will check boost website for more details.
