 The active_variants 1.1 PortGroup can do that, but it's not a valid
 solution because installing boost compiled with GCC *will* break other
 ports (e.g., if they are downloaded in binary form from our buildbot). See
 #44911, #44856 for examples of why using boost+gcc* is not a good idea. We
 could, in theory, install a private copy of boost compiled with GCC within
 the hhvm port. Wrapping GCC so it uses libc++ as explained in the stack
 overflow link is a lot easier than that, though.
