Hi,

boost1.92 FTBFS on ppc64 since it tries to build i386 assembly code [1]:

[ 23%] Building ASM object libs/context/CMakeFiles/boost_context.dir/src/asm/make_i386_sysv_elf_gas.S.o
/tmp/ccTrFd8w.s: Assembler messages:

make_i386_sysv_elf_gas.S:59: Error: unrecognized opcode: `fnstcw'

I assume it needs to be added to the architectures to use the generic ucontext
implementation [2].

Can you implement this change for the next upload, please?

Thanks,
Adrian
