build: Fix boost build on some platforms
When the libpath doesn't line up with the value from config.sub, we don't find the correct path to boost's libs. This adds a hack to try another path before giving up. Should close #3219.

+ dnl some arches may advertise a cpu type that doesn't line up with their

dnl first we check the system location for boost libraries
dnl this location ist chosen if boost libraries are installed with the --layout=system option
dnl or if you install boost with RPM
