I also fall into this issue. Boost 1.51 archive has extra dot in begining of
paths. Buildroot extracts archive with "strip-components=1" tar argument. For
boost 1.51 it strips first dot ".", which is equal to strip nothing.

$ tar -tf boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2 |head -5
boost_1_50_0/
boost_1_50_0/boost/
boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/
boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp
boost_1_50_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators_fwd.hpp

$ tar -tf boost_1_51_0.tar.bz2 |head -5
./
./boost_1_51_0/
./boost_1_51_0/boost/
./boost_1_51_0/boost/accumulators/
./boost_1_51_0/boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp

Probably, it is too late to reroll official archive, but I'm sure it must be
fixed in next releases.
May be 1.51.1 should be released for this? :)
