 For the record, as of 2022 the define in question still appears in
 boost-libs. It's attached to APPLE and a specific size of
 __LDBL_MANT_DIG__ and is probably therefore PPC MacOS only. (The
 regular Intel MacOS builds in pkgsrc-bulk are not showing Boost
 failing, in any event.)
 
 Consequently this PR is stuck until someone interested in pkgsrc on
 PPC MacOS feels sufficiently masochistic to try building Boost. :-|
