This sounds like a host contamination issue, we shoudn't be looking at
files like that during the build. We probably need to stop the system
looking at those files but I'm not familiar with boost to know enough
about how to stop it doing that.

I'd recommend filing a bug in the bugzilla to ensure this doesn't get
forgotten about...
