Yeah, things didn't really change for me by upgrading boost. (I did
make uninstall and rebuilt the whole deal, just to be sure.)

I think I may stick with a volk_config using all 'sse2', which gives
me just the 114 - qa_ctcss_squelch and 151 - qa_constellation_receiver
failures, and really it turns out that #151 only fails sometimes. I
looked at the other thread about the qa_ctcss_squelch and didn't
really find anything new, so I still need to dig into that.

On an OT note, I recently learned my distro of choice (Fuduntu) is
reaching end-of-life, so I'll be starting this process over in a
different context at some point anyway, though I do believe some of
these issues are more related to hardware (like instruction set
capabilities) rather than software.
