Persistent CI failures for old compilers

 On at least the clang 3.8 and gcc4.8 I'm seeing python errors block the CI
from running correctly.

Downloading/unpacking pip==20.3.4
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pip==20.3.4

Which of course has nothing to do with the compiler.  Here's an active
change where the CI is running.

https://github.com/boostorg/date_time/pull/192

So the question is -- are these two old and now unsupported? Is there some
CI setup change I need?  I'd like to stop having to override the CI
obviously.

Thanks,

Jeff
