This was more or less just some testing to see if NVHPC can build Boost. At the moment, we have some packages at a more basic toolchain at JSC than we have here (e.g. Boost at GCCcore level), and issues like I've seen here with Boost might be a reason why we might stick with that approach for a bit longer.

I'll still try to provide ECs for NVHPC where possible, once we have the toolchain ready.
