 Boost 1.81.1 fails to build on Mac M1 with the following output :

 main.log is attached, but the issue seems to be related to the fact that
 "combined" case previously used was replaced by "arm+x86", but not
 everywhere apparently.

 Note that Boost 1.81.0 adds a workaround that could resolve boost issues
 in universal variant :  https://trac.macports.org/ticket/64954
 https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66686

 https://github.com/boostorg/build/commit/d312a161524213b7966eec440158f38fbaa497c2

 Fixing Boost 1.81.0 compilation would probably enable boost but also
 poppler (that depends on boost 1.76 actually, should be upgraded to
 1.81.0) as universal packages
