Would not this path still be picked up https://github.com/mensinda/meson/blob/66d3747efef9343ce2d98d24fe9be47c2432a941/mesonbuild/dependencies/boost.py#L690? Or is the Nixpkgs’s compiler returning nothing?

Also this should go to staging.

It seems to work, I suspect that nixpkgs' gcc is patched enough for that. Concretely with this fix I get as expected:

Run-time dependency Boost (missing: filesystem, program_options, serialization, system, unit_test_framework) found: NO 

meson.build:104:0: ERROR: Dependency "boost" not found

Also this should go to staging.

Ah yes, done.
