The recipe for Boost does not support building Boost.Python NumPy.
There is a mistake in the variables supplied to test for numpy. A new
PACKAGECONFIG option is also provided to allow it to be optionally
enabled.
Below are the commit messages with additional debug information:
boost: Use python3-native executable
The Boost build system executes Python in the compile task to
import the Numpy module and print the include directory.
We must specify the python3-native executable in the user-config.jam
so that the python.jam can execute it properly.
Without this change, it specifies a non-existent python executable
and reports "No such file or directory" in log.do_compile.
```

boost: Add support for Boost.Python NumPy extension
Support for NumPy was added to Boost release 1.63.
This additional numpy PACKAGECONFIG ensures that python3-numpy
is added as build-time and run-time dependencies.
With this support in place we may add a PACKAGECONFIG to enable numpy.
Shown here in conf/local.conf:
```
PACKAGECONFIG:append:pn-boost = " numpy"
```

The Python one-liner which imports numpy uses the python3-numpy-native module,
however the return value doesn't appear to be used. The supplied include path
pointing to the target sysroot seems to be used for compliation.
