+Add python-numpy-include feature
+
+The Boost python.jam file attempts to import the NumPy module to determine
+whether the Boost.Python NumPy extension should be enabled. This approach
+is problematic when cross-compiling, particularly when NumPy includes
+native extensions built for the target architecture.
+
+Introduce the new python-numpy-include feature to avoid probing for NumPy
+at build time by allowing the include path to be specified explicitly.
+
+This enables BitBake to provide the correct NumPy include directory from
+the recipe sysroot, eliminating the need to import the target NumPy
+module from site-packages.
