But there's only one glibc, which they all use.  Different glibc versions
shouldn't be _too_ different, for Boost's purposes. No more different
than windows NT, 95, 98, 2k etc. for instance. So just pick one, it
shouldn't matter which.  A distro that doesn't ship with Boost might make
sense, since presumably the distros that provide precompiled versions of
Boost are already testing it.
