I notice you specify Boost.Python.

This is possibly a non-sequitur, but I've had problems with Boost.Python
in the past, in particular when I tried to compose a pkg-config file
(.pc) for it. The rest of Boost works just fine with pkg-config, as it
turns out. It's just Boost.Python I had to give up on.

IMO, the Boost.Python binary is inherently warped.
