"tools/build/src/engine/execunix.cpp" is required for boost <at> 1.72 in the
configure phase. boost-for-mysql inherits from.

I don't know how to properly fix that...

`tools/build/src/engine/execunix.cpp` was named
`tools/build/src/engine/execunix.c` before. So the following patch
allows to build boost <at> 1.59 again.

```

Although it fails with

I think our efforts are better spent on updating the packages that use
this ancient Boost instead of hacking it to work with Python 3.8.

Though disabling Python support might work around the issue for now...

Do you use any packages that depend on this?

I somehow had mysql in my package list, but replacing it with mariadb is
sufficent.

We can't straight-up patch boost because it has too many dependants, but
I copied the configure phase to boost-for-mysql and applied the changes
there.

It built with no problems with python2 instead of python3 but of course
I'd rather not add more dependencies on python2. Luckily it will build
without any python binaries so I've just gone ahead and removed python
from native-inputs.
