The thread library, python, and (maybe) regex.  I say "maybe" for regex
because I see errors in the output, but libboost_regex.{a,so} still gets
built.  Let me say that it is *very* hard to determine what did and did
not build successfully.

That got rid of the python problems.  I now get "failed updating 6
targets" and "skipped 5 targets" if I just do a debug build.
Here are some of the remaining errors.

   once_flag&)':
