+Disable fenv.h support for uClibc-based toolchains.
+
+The boost build system does not recognize the fact that fenv.h is an
+optional module in uClibc and tries to use it even if UCLIBC_HAS_FENV
+is disabled. This patch disables fenv support completely when compiling
+with a uClibc-based toolchain. Bug was reported upstream:
+https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11756
