Thanks for the quick fix.  gr-uhd, gr-osmosdr, gqrx all built
straightforwardly after updating uhd and replacing it.

It's unfortunate that the uhd/gr cmake code didn't say that boost system
wasn't found.  I had seen earlier patches in other things to not look
for system but apparently uhd's cmake didn't fail until this version.
But that's not a pkgsrc problem...
