Homebrew has ​noticed this as well. They blacklist clang <= 425 to fix it.

boost isn't even in mariadb's dependencies. Looks like it's being used opportunistically!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Deactivating boost allows mariadb to build.

It was difficult to find out how to disable mariadb's detection of boost. Boost is only used by OQGRAPH, and I eventually found ​this post recommending the use of "-DWITHOUT_OQGRAPH_STORAGE_ENGINE=1", which seems to work. It doesn't stop cmake from finding boost, but it does prevent mariadb from building the OQGRAPH storage engine that uses boost, so there's no more build error.

Committed in r109419.

I think this is the upstream bug report: ​https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4795
