Boost 1.83.0, tested and checked with older recipes still using boost 1.69.0, fixed some issues allong the line.
This has been a pain for a while since some newer sources required a boost version > 1.71.0.
Now available for install and testing on 64bit and 32bit.

I tried build i2pd with this and have some issues with asio library, and on previous versions too.
recipe and pathes
And issue:

Builds OK here with boost1.83
grabbing i2pd-2.45.1-1-x86_64.hpkg and moving it to /Opslag/haikuports/packages/i2pd-2.45.1-1-x86_64.hpkg
EDIT: missing cmd:i2pd (latest version upstream is 2.48.0 also)
After removing previous builds i have the same fails, your build on beta or nightly build? Because before boost 1.6x updated build completed succesfully
Build on R1B4, there’s only boost169 in the 1.6.* versions (that has been updated 8 months ago, so not a recent change there).
OK, checked a build with boost170 here (as was in the recipe), no errors …
But on nightly builds it doesn’t work, for example that’s tested on hrev57267
OK, got the same error on nightly, strange that it works on the Beta but not on the nightly, the package is the same …
EDIT: checked with a few other recipes on nightly (64bit), those are still fine … so I’m in the dark why “this” one is failing atm …

Thanks @humdinger Still not sure if this is somehow to do with something that changed in Haiku itself?
Those are behind _DEFAULT_SOURCE now.
I think (?) this should be handled in: https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/be16ca26833ac0180691621f054fe6fa68c96923/dev-libs/boost/patches/boost1.83-1.83.0.patchset#L257C8-L257C62
But seeing this hasn’t hit the beta I guess it didn’t, from the looks of it the binary “b2” is using those flags, not sure now for the rest of the source 
Maybe for building boost itself, but the problem is in building something else that uses boost’s headers. So unless that script changes the headers for the devel package, i2pd has to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE.

Confirmed, that fixes the boost asio problem, other errors (endian related I presume) further on then, thanks @madmax !

@humdinger Maybe this topic should be renamed? As it looks it isn’t really a boost issue rather then a R1B4 vs nightly issue?
“Building Boost shows beta4/nightly incompatibility” ?
Or can it be more specific?
This could work, but it’s not just boost, recent changes for arc4random_buf() (amongst others) are infected also? So maybe something like “Porting issues R1B4 vs nightly”?

Probably that header should include <features.h> which will automatically define _DEFAULT_SOURCE in most cases.

Speaking of <features.h>… I was going back and forth with @korli regarding the use of _GNU_SOURCE vs __USE_GNU over this TraX PR.
Should that file contain a guarded define for __USE_GNU? [1], or we should have a headers/compatibility/gnu/features.h one or something like that?
[1] For reference, the one from src/system/libroot/posix/glibc/include/features.h does so.
I have replied on github, I think we should instead remove use of __USE_GNU in our public headers (that is, in fact, only regex.h, which was copied from glibc) and make them use our version of features.h, that is not compatible with the glibc one.
In Haiku, the “internal” define is directly _GNU_SOURCE and I don’t think we should replicate the complexity of glibc features.h.

It used to be in more, but I removed some usages recently.
Isn’t it _DEFAULT_SOURCE? features.h defines that based on whether _GNU_SOURCE or others are defined.
But we still have a bunch of headers that check for _GNU_SOURCE not _DEFAULT_SOURCE. Should we fix these?
