I'm following a bug reported against boost filesystem here on github:
https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/65

This issue has gone dead. Early on they asserted it was an NDK issue.
However, the NDK developers say it's a filesystem issue. I'm not able
to build Boost 1.66 with the following configuration:

Android NDK Version: r16b
Architecture: armeabi-v7a
API: 15
Toolchain: Clang
STL: libc++ (LLVM)

This is blocking my migration away from GNUSTL. Can anyone confirm
that this issue is being looked at? Either I'm the only one seeing
this, or my toolchain combination exposes the bug but not many people
build boost this way.
