Boost is querying the host's ldd for a glibc version instead of the target
which leads to reproducibility issues. We shouldn't do this when cross
compiling. Patch out the issue for now.

+Calling ldd on the host glibc to make decisions about the target isn't cross compile
+safe, don't do it. We always have a new enough tagret glibc so we can skip this test.
